I think that this is a very special and thoughtful gift! Whilst out
grocery shopping today, I was tempted by some imported
crispy bread slices made with parmesan & olives. How about
a leetle jar of tapenade, and one of caponata, both made with
olives? Fancy crackers/bread things? Some kinda special
pickle? Okra or cornichons or corns? A book on olives?
