Olive's

hi i have one too,  i do get olive's right at the end of the season and they stay on the tree most of the winter a lot smaller than the ones you see on holiday   but you cant eat them until you soak them, father in law is italian and he says they soak them in lime :?  havn't seen anything yet to say no thats not right, it puts me off a bit   but i cant stop eating them even if they do soak them what i dont see cant hurt me   and also found out that the really black ones are coloured with squid ink and i'm allergic to shell fish :cry:  but don't get a reaction  :? going to get tested to find out what shellfish but 2 yr waiting list £250 if i pay private  :evil: but i love fish so everytime anyone is eating shellfish my mouth dosn't stop watering soory going of on one now   :oops: jan oh i dont polinate it
