how to taste olive oil

This was offered up by Our Friend Google. While this person is way more serious about food than I am, they at least have a sense of humor when writing about how to taste olive oil:

The mantra surrounding olive oil is summed up in one word: Grassy.

After the first five booths, besides tooth picks and slices of baguette for dipping, I found every person representing olive oil producers used the word "grassy" multiple times. The exception was certain foreign producers, whose oil tastes "gassy."

The word "grassy" seems as useful as "fruity" is when describing wine. It took generations of writers thousands of intoxicated evenings to rummage around their altered imaginations to find better words than "fruity." And it required even more hung-over mornings spent settling on which of these words could be used with a straight face.
