Love them. So much. Nearly every kind. One of the oldest cultivated foods. Die on your hill, or just realize that you have an uncultured palate!
Farther down you say you like pesto, which is like half olive oil. From olives.
Olive oil is fine. It's just olives themselves I don't like. Idk if I just don't have access to good olives or what. I've tried so goddamn hard to like them. I've tried so many. I just don't like them. I also live in a poverty-stricken part of the US, which may explain the lack of quality food around.
Love them. Especially the green ines. Sometimes i oick up a jar as a mivie snack.
EDIT: No edits! It stays as it stands!
Mostly I think they are gross, but once in a blue moon I'll have something with olives that have been prepared in a way where they actually taste pretty good. It's rare though
Olives are pretty great. Like the green ones more than then darker ones.
Black canned olives are a totally different beast to eg small green tart ones. I struggle to eat cold green olives by themselves sometimes. Black canned olives are salty beauts with the best texture of all time and I could eat fistfuls of them any time of day or night please
I think olives are gross but I like them anyway. Only green olives though - black tastes bad.
I was a bit of a picky eater when I was younger, but I've become much, much less so over the years - one of the few things I've never come around on is olives. The taste and texture combination just don't work for me
Only on pizza
Olives - at least as you usually buy them, in brine, often with pepper strips in them - I find delicious. But every person has their own tastes, you can't argue with subjective preferences.
Black olives? Yes
Green/Greek olives? Nope!
Like them? I love them!!
Olives are delicious.
canned olives are disgusting. Real ones you get in the mediterranean are amazing. I also hate the green olives but LOVE kalamata olives
I like olives, but not all olives. There's some nasty olives out there.
I think olives in brine are not nice, but a life changing way to eat olives is to marinate them in an olive oil/rosemary/garlic kind of marinade over several days and they are truly a game changer.
Olives are great! Olive Gardens? Not so much.
I like them stirred with gin and vermouth and served in a cocktail glass. Alcohol makes everything better.
So, a martini.
Olives are good, my whole family likes them.
I'm with you. They're gross.
Their taste is pretty neutral to me but I end up puking after eating the black ones. Not really sure why.
Hate ‘em, but I’m ok with olive oil.
I am a straight up menace when there's a jar of blue cheese olives around.
blue cheese olives ? gotta admit I never tried that combination
They're common for martinis, but you can find them premade in jars at the store usually in the pickled section. I like em by themselves
The great thing, for most people, about a food being gross is that you don't have to eat it. Is someone forcing you to eat olives? I mean, maybe you've just not tried fresh olives?
I know I've never had fresh olives. Nobody has forced me to eat them. My one friend and I argue (in a joke way) about things we have opposite opinions of lmao. We have different opinions on olives
