Ren, have you tried marinated olives? Marinated in good olive oil with garlic and herbs and a little chilli? We used to buy a few jars at a winery in the Hunter Valley and my wife loved them so much that after we had eaten the olives she would eat plain rice with the leftover marinade as a small meal. I'm not a big fan of olives in brine, but good marinated olives are awesome.
I've probably got sauces in the fridge that are at least a year past the use by date.
