*UGH* No no no no no! Canned/jarred olives are AWFUL. Mushy and flavorless.
Buy them in bulk. I've actually gotten pretty good Greek olives (Kalamata
are my personal favorite) in 2-lb tubs at National Wholesale Liquidators and
Sam's Club. The supermarket may not be a bad option, if the olives look
reasonably fresh (of course, you never get "fresh" olives off the tree,
those are inedible).
