Ante,
Since All Saints Day has passed, I bet your picking the olives now... The Sibenik-Knin region is a great place, been there and I was in Olive heaven..

What types of olives do you grow? and how do oyu prepare them?

Re: Whatcha eaten
 

Yay yay yay Big Tony, been here and didnt let me know!!!
We grow mostly "Oblica" variety and its Olive for Oil production but can be well prepared for food also. U can find more here:

Thanks for the link, the saylor olives look great and the sea salt is great, I use/have 12 different varieties of salt I use them in dessert too, awesome flavor too.

Belle (Pisang Awak), courtesy of Jon. Probably some of the best bananas I've ever tasted. The only thing that could compare was this one type I had in Costa Rica, which I have no idea what it was. They're reminiscent of Manzanos from the supermarket, but sweeter and creamier with a bit less of an apple taste. Although they had a pithy core. I might want to let them ripen a bit more.

Here's where I stand now, the banana varieties I've eaten out of hand, from best to worst:

Pisang Awak
A small, slender type I had in Costa Rica, not sure what it was
Store-bought Oritos
Store-bought red bananas
Store-bought Manzanos
Store-bought Cavendish
Veinte Cohol
Store-bought Burro bananas (Orinoco)

Re: Whatcha eaten
 

I'm staring at darkening plantains to cook this afternoon. Already baked crescent rolls with nutella or cheese in them for lunch.

Edit:
Fried yellow/black plantains with some sugar. Tasty but not superb. Nice banana flavor but not a cooked banana flavor so it was tasty and not icky. The sugar got too chewy/hard to be pleasant to the mouth. I have more to experiment with though. I think if I can fix the sugar caramelizing issue, it would be very very good to have with ice cream to smooth it out.
