melons are highly variable musk melons (like cantaloupe) are generally good to god-tier, i dont really like honeydew but it's not awful, and i've never met a watermelon i liked otoh i do really like cucumbers, it's celery and iceburg lettuce that are just sad yucky watery blandness to me (like some people find cucumbers to be)
no idea about pork rinds, but kimchi is The Good Stuff and i wish i had more korean restaurants around for it. also, opinion on olives? (black, green, none, both?) Personally: only the black ones and only pickled.
I will eat any and all olives but especially Kalamata olives. Give me all your rejected olives, I'll eat them for you.
I love olives. Many different types of olives. Kalamatas are very good. I also have a fondness for martini olives, especially if they've been in the martini for a while. The alcohol makes a really nice counterpoint to the strong briney olive flavor. The ones in cans that you can stick on your fingers barely deserve to be called olives at all. Good for being ET or entertaining children at Thanksgiving though.
I'll take pretty much any olive, but black olives are godlike in sandwiches and you cannot convince me otherwise. Especially reubens.
> olives in sandwiches Why this Black olives and kalamata olives belong on pizza, green olives are fine by themselves.
Olives are delicious in sub sandwiches with cucumber and oil and vinegar. I gotta disagree about the reuben thing, though, sauerkraut and maybe some pickle are the only veggies that belong on there.
green olives straight out of the jar is a kick in the face of salty and sour. also the texture is very good and weird. i love having the around and eat them like candy
I will consume black olives until they make me sick, yes plz. Green are a bit more of an acquired taste and are an occasional treat.
I can't stand really salty foods like olives, but my sister will sit and eat a whole jar of black olives if given the chance
Black olives are life. Stuffed olives are great, too. One time I had a bunch of very firm green olives stuffed with blanched almonds. Unexpectedly good combo!
spawned by an ongoing discord discussion: Chicken and waffles: southern style (fried chicken) or PA dutch style (pulled chicken in gravy)? I stand by my decision that anything I have to cut to fit in the waffle square is not a waffle topping
