Saucy Tales by Bada Bing

I'm going to consider this a condiment because it was purchased for bloody mary purposes: A tub of Hot Olive Salad purchased shortly after moving into this house in August 3 years ago, whenever that was. As may be seen by the expiration date, said olives, pickled in brine and hotness, are two years out of date. How do olives go out of date? Anywho, I cannot bring myself to through the tub away because hot olive salad purchased for bloody marys represents such delightful indulgence conflated with intemperance--like having real saffron in a spice rack or splurging on expensive cheese for courting purposes. But I really should throw it away. I have sampled sensually said spicy olives and their saucy brine: They are at this point face-meltingly hot and completely inedible.
