Eat a lot of olives and pepperchinnis myself. Turkish and Lebanese olives for me though. A Lebanese/Med place store here has about 20 different 5 gallon buckets to choose from.I love all veggies except liver.
And I love olives. Eat about 15 Italian olives every day with my mortadella and asiago cheese sandwich on scali bread.
