pickled olive
I respect this entry's creator a great deal, but POINTing is a bad habit, in my opinion... —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 06:26, 25 February 2020 (UTC)

 * There is an entry for (adjective) and another for . There is no adjective entry for, however, and seemingly no entries for preserved fruit, such as preserved pears, preserved peaches, preserved apricots etc. They all probably taste better than pickled black olives.

 * Olives (whether green or black) are too bitter to be enjoyable if they have not been cured. The traditional method uses brine, and is popularly called pickling, although preservation is not the primary objective. Vinegar and herbs may be added for taste, but this is not traditional. The process may leave the olives very salty, which is good for long-time preservation but less so for a nice taste, so some soaking in fresh water before consumption is recommended. Industrially processed olives sold in jars will normally already have been somewhat desalted. --Lambiam 18:56, 29 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Your white bourgeois olive-chomping experience will put you first against the wall when the social justice revolution comes. No kidding. Also I now want to eat a raw olive to see what it's like. Equinox ◑ 15:14, 1 March 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete. This cannot even be idiomatic for the reason Lambiam has given. Table olives only occur in treated, mostly pickled, form. Fay Freak (talk) 14:21, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
