I love jalapeno stuffed olives
I could practically eat a whole jar in one sitting

iirc, in the latest issue of CI they berated all electric sharpeners. Maybe that was some other mag I read then.

edit: And no offense but I can manually get a MUCH nicer edge with a manual sharpen than that Henckles thing. Wusthof has a similar item. I own it, but its total crap.

I have 8 Wusthof Classics that are about 9yrs old (lightly steel them weekly & they're razor sharp). & a few years ago some family member (read: not foodie) got me that wusthof sharpener for xmas. :roll: It's been in my bottom drawer for years. I may have to 'regift' it this year.

a couple years ago I bought the small Global veggie hollow edge - I have an 11yr old foodie child with knife skills. She uses and actually, so do I. It's sharper than a jedi light saber. seriously. if you ever have the chance to get one, or try one, you should. I'll only get Globals from now on.

this is the one we have: http://www.metrokitchen.com/product/GL-GS-39

absolutely, but it does it quickly, which is great when you're cooking for a wailing 3 year old.

Getting them professionally sharpened is the best though, I love my knives so much when they come back.

I used mine until one of the little stone in it broke. It sucked, but was obviously better than nothing. Now I've got a couple of diamond stones for em.

Some friends of mine have some pretty nice ceramic knives. Strange, but sharp as hell.

they are pretty nice, but I heard if you fuck up the edge, it's pretty hard to fix them.

Take a few minutes to make them yourself. Pull the pimentos out of large queen olives with a toothpick and stuff them w pickled jalapenos. Then put them all in the jalapeno juice and soak them at least overnight. I like to put one blue cheese stuffed and one jalapeno stuffed on a pick and eat them simultaneously.

The combo works really well.

Anchovie stuffed olives FTW.

 

[Sarcasmo]

Who the fuck likes anchovies but not onions, that's what I'd like to know.

 

[JAXvillain]

ya know, I don't think I've ever had an actual anchovie besides in whatever manner they get into caesar dressing...do they puree them for that or just use their oil?

 

[tre]

it's often anchovy paste

They are delish.

fun fact, the whole damn thing actually dissolves (bones and all) when cooked.

They are also an ingredient in Worcestershire sauce

And I hate that because we have to buy special Worcestershire sauce for my vegetarian sister-in-law.

They're the only reason you need to refrigerate it.
