Market produce: olives


So many olives to delight your palate. You can choose olives with basil, garlic, pimentos, herbes. Some are stuffed, some not. Perhaps the tiny but oh so tasty Niçoise olive. Which would you choose?

The olives are in the middle section of this stall - on the left he sells prepared food like pickled onions, seafood salads, sundried tomatoes in oil, grilled slices of aubergines in oil, pickled cloves of garlic, anchovies - the choice is endless. At the other end, he sells fruit confit. Come back tomorrow and I'll show you the fruit.

  1. How I love olives. I admit that when no-one is looking I sneak free samples in our local supermarket. Adore the spicy olives. Tiny olives are divine at cocktail hour!

  6. Sad to say, olives are not a big thing in Singapore. I mean, I've never tasted one! What I do know is that olive oil is relatively healthier in cooking...am I right?
