Airplane olive (traditional Chinese: 甘草欖; simplified Chinese: 甘草榄; pinyin: Gān Cǎo Lǎn), also known as licorice olive, is a popular snack in Hong Kong and Guangzhou. The snack physically resembles an olive, but is actually made from herbs marinated with salt and licorice. The name "airplane olive" originates from a custom of street vendors throwing the snack to customers above, to their home, who would throw money down for payment. Such act is made possible as buildings then were usually not too high.

  • 甘草欖又稱飛機欖(英語:Aeroplane Olive),最先出現於廣州,之後來到香港。是把橄欖用鹽及甘草等藥材醃製而成,甘草味濃,酸中帶甜,不容易變壞。在1950年代至1970年代,甘草欖的斜背著欖型的容器,在民居街上沿途賣。因當時的唐樓高度有限,只得數層,買家從陽台扔錢給街上的小販,之后小販則扔給買家甘草欖,訓練有素,如放紙飛機,所以有飛機欖的別稱。 在香港,有人稱「飛機欖之父」郭鑒基(1924年-2013年12月9日),在14歲時,從掟石頭取得靈感,與三名友人合夥買入當時流行廣州小食「欖子」,再混入甘草、陳皮、丁香、玉桂、鹽、糖等香料醃製後包裝,以獨創的「掟上樓」的方式銷售。據說他醃製的飛機欖酸中帶甜,亦不易變壞,而且甘草,有止咳、潤喉等功效,頗受街坊歡迎。1970代高峰時期,他每天做2小時就拋約200份(大約10斤)的飛機欖。 (zh)
