Don't give me that "you should be eating a more expensive, brand." That line is a lot of hogwash. They all have that unpleasant taste. My guess is that you're tasting old, used, soy bean oil.

The taste of olives depends mostly on how they are processed. Canned
olives are basically substandard at the best of times. Canned black
olives are an abomination. I get olives only in delis or at grocery
store olive bars, and both typically have at least a half dozen
varieties. As for paint thinner..... I disagree, My preferred grease for
a grilled cheese sandwich is olive oil. Speaking of which, it is lunch
time here. I think that is what I will have for lunch.
