The person who started the topic put many links in her post which explain what olives are. They are green or black and are the fruit of a tree. They are not fruits though or vegetables, they are catagorised as droops but are savoury so some could call them a vegetable I guess.

I never used to like them but recently have started liking them. No scratch that I have started craving them. No am not pregnant its a side effect of the homeopathic meds I am on. That is what my homeopath told me when I went back to see her. The best ones are the ones in olive oil that are stuffed with garlic.
You never eat olives raw straight off the tree, they will be very bitter. They need to be cured, this is usually done by soaking them in brine (salted water). I prefer green ones to black ones.

Oh I love olives. I can open a can of black olives and eat them just like that. I don't care too much for the green ones but I will eat them if I don't have the black ones. The black pearls ones are the best.
