I want the pit still i n there. If an olive can be stuffed, its too late to save it. ---

I love olives. All kinds of olives. In brine, in oil, black, green, kalamata, you name it. Stuffed with garlic, blue cheese, jalapenos, onions, all good but anchovies? Blech. I picked blue cheese out of the choices offered, but garlic would be a close second. Stand in the kitchen and eat _half_ a jar? Amateur. ---

I’m still puzzled by the notion that you should put non-food-items like anchovies in food. ---

I will take a jar of each. Where do I send my address? ---

After more than 24 hours of mulling this very important question, I settled on garlic. And no fannying about, a whole clove with each olive, please thank you. ---

I have a case of Jalapeno/Garlic stuffed queen olives sent to my mid-west home from California about twice a year. I’d tell you the supplier but I’ve already said too much. I want it ALL for myself. ---

I protest that this poll is manifestly unfair. I happen to like Jalapeno and blue cheese olives with equal fervor. Both are fantastic, but in the end I voted jalapeno because it was getting less love. ---

Garlic, but not the kind you linked to where they just shove a hunk of garlic in the pit. I pick up a brand from Spain when I’m in NYC that are stuffed with more of a garlic paste. They don’t have the garlic ones on the web site but here’s the blue cheese version.

If an olive must be stuffed with something, then let it be garlic. As I thought about the question, I also thought I may have to pick up a jar of garlic-stuffed olives later today, and mix up some pre-dinner martinis. ---

> [@Happy\_Lendervedder](#): > > Costco has garlic-jalapeno stuffed olives, which are my favorites, but your polling doo-hickey would only let me choose one or the other, so garlic won. Same here. When I bought a jar I assumed it was some stuffed with garlic and some with jalapeno but they managed to get get both into the same olive. What a marvelous age we live in.
