What it the best way to eat an olive that still has it's pit?

Smoosh the olive with a fork. Remove the pit. Enjoy the olive.

Or.. Put the olive, pit and all in your mouth and aim at someone you don’t like.

If I’m out I just put the olive in my mouth with a fork and eat around it and just bring the fork up to my mouth and slide it out onto the fork. At home I usually use my fingers unless I have people over. There is no other way to eat olives.

You for sure don’t want to swallow it!

I began eating olives as part of my diet on a regular basis, thinking the olive oil would be beneficial. I just put about 8 to 10 on the side of my plate, use my fingers to put them in my mouth and carefully eat around the pit and than use my fingers again to take the pit out of my mouth. I would not do that in public of course, I do enjoy eating french fries with my fingers no matter where I have them, i wouldn’t order them out in a fine establishment so I can honestly say that, since I wouldn’t use my fingers in an upscale dining establishment.
