25, I reckon
How many olives would you say it would be acceptable to eat in one sitting?
was EXACTLY what i was going to post when i saw the thread title
got a toastie from Eat the other day and it had olives in it, was so disappointed. doubly so as i was on the phone with mrs_t_england when i was picking it up off the shelf, read out the ingredients which included olives and somehow didn’t register that thois meant it’d have olives in it.
8 olives!? In one sitting. No way. Get stuck in. 25+ is perfectly acceptable in a snacking scenario.
Also it depends on the size of the olives. Those small tinned ones I could eat 25 of easily. 25 Gordals? Abso-certainly not.
I’m thinking of nicely marinated, decent-sized olives. 8-10 large olives would be ideal. Any more and I’d begin to feel remorseful.

I love the little small hazel ones you get in Liguria and the south of France. 25 is a reasonable amount for those. Also because they tend to be gently marinated tasting more like olive oil than brine
You’re not alone.
(Although you fucking should be)
Foods you used to really dislike, but have come around to
Those little olives you get in restaurants and stuff - probably 12
Big queen olives - can only really eat 3 max but they’re fucking good.
