edpaffjr.comIt occurred to  me last night while eating a paella dish prepared with both black and green olives that a year ago I wouldn’t have dreamt of eating such a thing. Up until recently I avoided olives like the plague. Though I still haven’t eaten them whole on their own (who does that?), they are no longer a must avoid ingredient.
It was at this time that I realized that pizza is a gateway food. If it weren’t for so many veggie topper pizzas I probably would have never tried olives. The same reasoning can be applied to my mushroom eating habits. Years ago I never touched them. Now I don’t mind eating a dish of sautéed mushrooms. And this all started as trying them on a pizza. I wonder what else pizza will trick me into trying next?
I eat black olives pitted whole… They are the best! Use to love green ones but not anymore… Don’t know why
Maybe you should try the green ones on pizza. :)
