Think it’s more to do with the processing of the cherries maybe? There’s supposed to be a big diff between wet and dry-hulled coffee, you got that monsooned stuff as well that has an effect on the flavour, too.
ETA: Supposedly a difference. I’ll take their word for it. My coffee comes out of a jar, rather than a rats bum.
I prefer my olives in the front. Seriously though at a small Greek market I couldn’t resist sampling so much at the olive bar they told me the next time I came in they’d weigh me on the way in and on the way out and charge me the difference.
Olive thin crust pizza, but I don’t necessarily relish catchup on my dog.
Oh, and relish is an abomination, unless it is made out of olives
Production, production, production. Are you going to crawl around the leaf litter of a tropical forest floor looking for cat poop or are you going to keep them in a cage where you can scoop it up each day?
But you can get really good free range chicken. It all depends what you choose to keep in a cage.

Brie is only for French breads, overpriced water crackers and baking.

You could at least not use a picture of fake water biscuits!
I come from Carlisle, we take pride in Carrs.
Obligatory:
Are you talking about olive salad? And who do I have to murder to get a good muffuletta roll on the East Coast, outside of Louisiana, anyway?
McVitie’s!!! Didn’t know they also made Carr’s water biscuits.
Yes, I order digestives online for home delivery. Tea isn’t the same without them, no matter where in the world you are.
If only we could work out a BBS snack and booze exchange. We could keep a lot of people very happy.
QFT. An Iced VoVo or TimTam is great for a fling, but a McVitie’s Digestive completes tea.
something similar was tried but never got momentum
Says the guy who received the most recent exchange gift of all!!
: D
but still, outside of the original cabal no one picked up the idea
I applaud the idea wholeheartedly, but I don’t have anything particularly interesting to offer. Any L.A.-native foodstuffs unavailable elsewhere are guaranteed to not travel well (plus I have famously bad taste), and unless I built bespoke Little Free Libraries for people, I wouldn’t have much in the way of Personally Handcrafted to offer. (And I haven’t even had time to make a new one for my new house yet.)
Yep. I don’t make anything.
I’d be happy to receive, but have nothing to reciprocate with…
It’s a neat idea. Not sure I’d be happy with that much trust and shipping costs would make the whole thing a bit too much for me, but I like the idea.
Dead-tree-style postcards? Cheap and creative, (draw your own or find a weird or local one, doodles, quotes etc on the back), easy to ship, less chance of drama with local customs, import taxes etc.
shipping the cake ingredients from EU to US was more expensive than the content - but it was worth it, the images of the prepared cakes made me glee with joy
