Ah, it's springtime, and the forsythias are blooming again. Who knew forsythia bushes yielded green olives? Not this guy, that's for sure. Fun fact: they don't actually. But we put these manzanillas there anyway, because, you know...pretty picture.
I hablo enough of the Español to know that "manzana" means "apple." So I figured "manzanilla" might mean apple...something or other. Applicious? Probably not if they're salted. I didn't really think that one through.
Actually, "manzanilla" translates to "chamomile." Do these happy, snackable olives taste like chamomile? You'll just have to watch our short video review to find out.
Closing thoughts: are olives fruits or vegetables? Technically, they're fruits, but for culinary purposes, they're treated as veggies, so I tagged them as both. 4.5 from Sonia. 4 from me.
Bottom line: 8.5 out of 10.
Those would be ideal for salads or in dishes when you don't need a entire jar of olives
ReplyDeleteYes they would.
DeleteI have a weakness for anything salty/brined, so something like these olives really rocks my boat! I love these since they’re portable but i usually just buy the larger jars since i go through them rather quickly....:))
