theres a shop near me which used to have three isles of olives. bit excessive.

Are you sure it was a shop and not an Olive Grove?

[squirrelarmy]

Just thinking back to the post that started all this. Are we sure it was Olives in a van and not someone from the West Midlands saying that they live in a van?

Whilst you get some yield after 5-8 years, it takes 65-85 years to get good yields. They don't grow very fast! But they produce for hundreds of years.

Big fan of these

I bought a giant can of these one Xmas for my other half, mainly for the can in which all my kitchen utensils now reside. I was much less a fan of the actual Olives towards the final third of this giant can, than I had been at the beginning.

🤣🤣 I've seen the size of those big cans, isn't it about a 2kg can?

Yeah they’re huge, I think I saw them in a bills restaurant and tracked them down being sold somewhere. I didn’t really want to see another one of them for a good while.

Is this the most middle class thread ever on efests.

Is that because I buy my olives in Waitrose?

Kalamata are the ones for me.
