Jack Sprat could eat no fat
His wife could eat no lean
And so between them both
They licked the platter clean
Last night I had a craving for French bread and Spanish olives. It made me think about how the Brothers eat the pimento filled olives. Sam will squeeze out the pimento into a bowl because he doesn't want the olive. After "milking" a handful of olives, he has a salty clump of soggy pimentos to devour. He gives the pimento-less olives to Jesse, who doesn't like the pimentos but loves the olives. I don't know when or how they figured out this system, but that's how they always eat green olives.

Green olives? What's that? They would never exist in my house and my kids will never know what they are--until maybe their cousins come to visit and buy some. Sheltered children, I know.
