That's what they're supposed to look like. I believe the expression is
"architectural".

It produced some
olives a few years ago but they didn't taste as good as shop bought
ones. Of course, everyone said they were great!

ISTR the processing of olives to make them eatable is quite involved: I
read it up on the Web once, and I'm sure it'll still be there. It struck
me as little short of miraculous that humans ever worked out what to do
to them.

Despite my warning, Ray bit into a fresh one of ours and pronounced it truly
