Are you really Greek if you don’t like olives?

I haven’t really ver heard a Greek not liking olives. Personally, I love them too and can be snacking on olives all day long just because they are so delicious. he other day, I stumble upon a Persian olive recipe though - Zeytoon Parvardeh - which I thought sounded fantastic, which looked fantastic and which in the end actually was fantastic. This is very simple to make and takes your olives to a whole new level. Yum!
