@Megalodon Go to your local supermarket or Deli and see if they do “samples” and try the different olives available.

Today it was chicken meat balls in tomato sauce and a warm baguette.

Good suggestion Kazz as olives are a “complex animal” and an acquired? taste.
Sampling and comparison is definitely a good idea.

Hi Chilli,
please don’t take this the wrong way but I did have to chuckle internally here as you reminded me of a couple of days/nights ago.
I’d recently bought a LARGE tray of chicken drumsticks - had cooked some and INTENDED to use the others over next day or so.
That did not happen, and I had not returned the still significant unused half of the tray to the freezer so they spent several days in the fridge.
They may have been OK, but it wasn’t worth tempting fate, so I was about to dispose of these still rather nice looking drumsticks in the bin.
I don’t like food wasting at the best of times - then suddenly a thought came to mind.
My neighbour across the road has a lovely old German Shepherd who is sadly nearing the end of his days, He is a BIG former Police dog with a gentle temperament that would melt icecream ( and that from me who for serious reasons is NOT fond of most dogs )
So over I went - greeted at the closed gate by this gentle giant who sniffed with that super sensitive doggy nose and I could almost hear him thinking “What’s that you’ve got there - DAMN that smells good”
Anyway I got to the door and explained to my neighbour, and the tray of chicken drumsticks were graciously accepted ( having made it clear who they were for. )
It was a cold night and he ( dog ) had on a big “body rug” but some extra ‘fuel’ on the inside would I’m certain make him feel even better ( despite no marinade )
As for us hoomans, I’m with you re your son’s marinade.
Hope you both enjoyed them. Let me know if you have any leftovers as I’m now short of a few drumsticks here.

A heart warming story OldBloke,
I’m glad the big doggie enjoyed his chicken 
Do German Shepherd’s like marinade? I don’t suppose anyone’s really thought about it before now 
Leftovers… what are they?
I have no idea Chilli. I do know that I thought I’d lost this big fellow as a friend way back not too long after they’d moved here years ago.
I’d been working on my motorcycle, had walked some doors away up the street maybe to borrow a spanner or something ?
Coming back down the footpath this big fellow was at their gate and I thought to befriend him so had gently offered my hand BUT I had totally forgotten that I had been using petrol earlier ( & since washed my hands )
He was quite accepting of my outreached hand of friensdship UNTIL his super sensitive doggy nose obviously caught some residual petrol smell whereupon he violently LURCHED away from me.
I instantly realised & thought you stupid stupid man - you’ve lost the chance & may never regain it.
I realised it would take time if I was ever to regain his trust. So for a LONG time if passing I would just talk to him quietly & gently but NEVER at that time offered my hand or anything from my hand.
It took a while, but long ago before these drumsticks we’ve been BUDDIES.

Not pretty perhaps but I have some goodies to use up including some slightly jaded fresh basil.
There’s going to be plenty of Arrabiatta sauce to go with the spaghetti meatballs tonight and plenty to freeze for later. This one is going to be eye wateringly hot 
I’ve not skimped on the garlic either .
