there are so many different types in the supermarkets, marinated, plain stuffed, with different peppers and garlics, etc.black, green, brown.

which are nice, given that they are quite expensive and i want to buy some which are recommended?

the black garlic ones stuffed with that spongy red stuff

i forgot to ask from which supermarket as well, as they look the same in different supermarkets but taste different.

tesco do a good sized tub for £3 from the deli section

I like them all.
Garlic ones are delicious, but I also like the ones you get with slivers of red chilli, and the ones you get mixed with tiny cubes of goats cheese.
I used to prefer geen olives, but I like black ones now too.
I wouldn't eat them at all until a few years back.

m local market has an olive stall... he has so many varietys! Stuffed with garlic... almonds... chillis.... anchovy... lemon.... pepper... loads! I tell ya! It's stuffed olive heaven!

Big juicy Kalamata olives are my favourite.

Big green ones stuffed with garlic or pimento, eaten with feta cubes.

I'll take the anchovy filled ones, you can have the rest.

I love olives! I prefer the green ones.
I often buy a few jars of pitted olives in brine, drain them, and gobble them all up! Mmm...

Mmmm, Anchovy ones are lovely.

Mine! mine! all mine!
mwahahahhahhaaahha!

olives from supermarket deli counters are often in a poor state, however Borough Olives at Borough market is brilliant.

Good to see so much love for the anchovy-stuffed olives on here.
I've got tins and tins of them at my house.

(And no - none of you are invited )

I got some MOJITO olives from John Lewis once. I had to try them, they sounded so ridiculous - green olives with lime and mint, but i tell you wht, like the old saying - dont knock owt til you try it coz they were suprisingly delicious!!!

Large, stoned green olives with lemon, garlic and herb marinade. No particular brand. I prefer green to black, although I am getting a taste for the black now. I just love olives, though I never used to.
