My sister and I were at our friend’s party, and, like most, I wandered over to the food table. Propped up close to the table was the friend’s daughter, a happy two-year-old eating from a bowl of jumbo black olives. Her chubby finger speared an olive and she happily pulled it from her fingertip, eating it with delight. Amused, I watched as she then bejeweled all her fingertips with olives and ate them one by one. Her mother, close by, noticed my curiosity and laughed, moving her daughter out of reach of the olive bowl, and said: “She loves these so much! She’ll eat the whole bowl if I don’t move her!” Laughing, I grabbed an olive to see what was so amazing about them. My tongue rolled the black olive around, savoring the umami, sweet-briny flavor. My eyes opened with renewed appreciation, and I reached for more. Soon five more olives were gone. So much one can learn from the youth!
