Stuffed olives
Crammed in a jar
How enjoyable to
Eat you and not
Lose a tooth over a
Stone - stuffed is
Best and they tell
Me a little vinegar
Is good for the spleen
And other organs
And palate clear
I like to sprinkle
Chilli flakes in
Your glass and
After a thorough
Shaking for dispersion
Munch away while
Writing and watching
Telly and various
Other endeavors
Devouring this
Crazy unsweetest
of all fruits is the
Sweetest, fruitiest
Thing to do - in the
Sunshine, in the rain
In all weathers I like
To bite you in half
And the flavour savour
Like a wine fine served
On a salver silver
And I like to dip in an
Old tablespoon and
Just chew greedily
Regardless of the number
As long as it's a mouthful
And when I eat you with
Rare cheese this is also nice
Other condiments that go
Well with you are relishes and
Mustard and cinnamon and
Nutmeg and basil and garlic
I am reminded of the
Ancient Greek urns
Adorned with illustrations
Of warriors scoffing
Upon the delicacy after
A hard battle which
Is curious because it's
Precisely how I feel
When I prepare for a nibble
On your delicious delights
And you know you also taste
Good with spicy apples
And simple celery
And anything really
This is a love affair
That shall never end
To you my humble
Olives I will ever be true

Would you eat them in a box? Would you eat them with a fox? ;)

This lighthearted poem is a nice contrast to all the heavier topics that weigh on this forum...

What a crazy choice! I once saw a kid (my neighbor's) who ate a whole piece of pickle in one go. Sure there are so many different tastes.

This is a lovely long list.

Thankyou every

Thankyou Aliengirl, this is the thing about tastes - I can recall being very young and was inexplicably afraid of olives (subconsciously afraid that I would like them?) And I can't say exactly when I realised how yummy they were

Thankyou for the compliment JB
