there are supermarkets with olive bars here. I know they have a bunch of different olives...don't know if they have all the different stuffed ones, though.

 

I've been putting Martinis away with a fury lately.

Garlic or Jalapeno stuffed olives most of the time. And cocktail onions. Those are the best.,

 

I know this comment is purely in jest, however that tv show is perhaps the single pop culture phenomenon most responsible for the continued foofication of the martini. The pink, sweet, not particularly strong drink, consumed by stupid bitches, known as a cosmo...is a cocktail. It is not a martini.

:rant:

 

You just bit my head off.

 

do olives really affect the taste that much? ive never tried anything like that. i was just at the liquor store, almost bought some beefeater, but i got wine :hs:

 

Dude, the different types of stuffing in the olive are there because you eat the olive, not because it changes the taste of the drink.

 

well im just wondering why olives go in the drink. someone just decided that olives go good with martinis?

 

I went to Montreal over the summer and they have a Marche Centrale, big outdoor food market in the city. Great food, no brand names, all either local grown or imported fresh.

EXCELLENT olive vendors and cheese vendors. We picked up like $20 worth of random food and went for a picnic on the mountain in the park. Blue cheese stuffed olives galore h:

 

Something like that.

A gin-soaked olive is perhaps one of the single greatest food items on the planet.

 

I havent had a Gin martini in a looooong time.



I like mine vodka.
