Tapenade
A thick paste-like condiment with origins in France's Provence region. The classic paste is usually made from olives, capers, anchovies, olive oil, lemon juice, and seasonings. However, these days you can find many other varieties, including garlic, sun-dried tomato, or artichoke. Excellent when paired with crisp toast, fish, or meat.

6i would try it, look good
7and i like olives ♥
Wow do you guys think it looks disgusting only because it's dark?
You can also find it with green olives (my fav since I don't like black olives).
Tapenade is amaaazing, especially when you dip gressins in it.
If some are interested, the recipe is fairly basic:
-1can black olives
-1can green olvives
-1 small/medium ripe tomato
-the juice of one lemon
-pepper (avoid salt because of the olives)
-a splash of olive oil
-1-2 anchovies
-herbs to taste
Just put everything in a blender, and that's it!
8That particular tapenade is dark because it's made with kalamata olives or some other ripe olive. If you like olives, you'll like tapenade because that's primarily what it is. Olives. Nothing gross about olives hehehe. Besides, there are tons of things people eat that don't look like much but taste phenomenal. Caviar, foie gras, nori (seaweed), ginger, mushrooms... just to name a few.
9MMMMMMM...I LOVE tapenade!!
10I could totally get naked and roll in tapenade, I love it that much.
