Years ago went to Greece and at the bar they had bowls of olives which I ignored.
The barman said he would the next eveing bring varying 'grades' of olives.
Still didn't find one I like
But I love bread dipped in extra virgin olive oil |

I love them, especially the green ones, stuffed with fetta, bloody lovely, plus a bit of olive oil, sundried tomatoes and some of that hard Italian, Greek or Turkish bread, washed down with some strong continental beer 
I could go all night on a plate of them |

they are an acquired taste. try starting with the softer blue black ones the green ones are more bitter.
I make a lovely chicken and olive soup. You can soak olives for a while in milk and then rinse them if they are too salty.
Also try the little green ones stuffed with sweet pepper or garlic for beginners. |

they are an aquired taste, i have over a couple of years started to adore them, they have to be good ones and in a suitable oil or dressing, sainsburys packaged ones are great as are the M&S packaged ones, never in brine as then too salty even for me |
