I think I can speak exclusively on the subject of Olives as I am an avid fan of the delicious little bastards, I mean, I just have to have some every day, be it pulped into my yoghurt or the oil injected directly into my blood stream, I just can't go without them.
A few years back I couldn't stand them. Actually that's a lie. I couldn't stand the look of them, they always had the look of the kind of Nescafe soaked pile that you shit out in a time of crisis and also I had a deeply ingrained phobia of them which stemmed from some foreign part of my conscious mind but I am not sure why.
And then, suddenly, in a Pizzaria in London I just started consuming them as if some glutenous beast had awoken within me and craved them like Godzilla craves the soft fleshy bodies of the startled looking actors.
Now I get olives on such a frequent level that I have developed an almost critique obligation to ridicule restaurant served olives that are not fresh.
One day I would like to own an olive plantation - in point of fact, I now have at home a very small olive tree in a pot, more of an olive sprout but I intend to be able to harvest my own crop of olives within the next 150 years.
Other accompaniments and condiments of my dinner table and frequently on my plate is Lime Pickle and Encona Pepper Sauce.
A quick and easy combination that has be moaning with pleasure these days is:
A Jacket Potato with grated cheese, some salad with olives and balsamic vinegar and a tea spoon of Lime Pickle dumped onto top the tubba.....for a real blend of spice, why not also add a dash of Encona Pepper sauce for that extra kick.
Another salivating delight that I like to indulge in is, and this is more suited for a females diet but what the hell, I discovered this by pure accident is:
Original Rivita's with some mature cheddar cheese, some salad with olives and balsamic vinegar and table spoon of Lime Pickle just dumped into this melee of food. Tuck in with your fingers and don't be scared to get covered in oils and crumbs.
Why not perk up this little gem with a splash of Encona pepper sauce, your love the zesty Lime taste and the complimenting Encona Pepper Sauce will have you truly thinking that your sitting on the shore of a West Indian Beach.
And there you have it, some delightful recipes ideas, some background on my passion to get olives and a genuinely good bowel cleaner.
