Might be a southern thing, but you missed one IMO

Good stuff. Once I went to a very fancy fundraiser(partner was the development person) and they served olives with pits in them and no way to dispose of said pit easily, also involved placing a napkin in front of my face every 5 mins. Serve pitted fancy olives!

This is a tangent but I once had pizza in Germany that had whole olives with pits on it. Just the most fundamental misunderstanding of pizza I’ve ever experienced.

Ok. So. Bacon-wrapped scallops is the GOAT of skewered meats. To the point where for our wedding cocktail hour we left instructions for the wait staff to DIRECTLY bring to my wife and me the tray before the guests.

My problem is that i have stockholm syndromed myself into thinking that a negroni tastes good. I also think that amari are delicious. My palate has problems.

I exaggerate, of course--I enjoy negronis and amari too. But the strength of the flavor encourages a more conscious pace of consumption than a sweeter drink.
