You are wrong. You don't like them.

That's not an argument, it's an opinion and you are entitled to it, completely wrong as it may be.

I don't like em, but not to the level of gross. Pickles are gross for me, olives I can either move to the side or ignore as a mildly worse meal.

The first time I tried an olive as a kid, I thought I grabbed a grape.

Needless to say, I hate olives.

I used to hate olives, along with a lot of other things. Peppers. Beans. Blue cheese. And I used to tell everyone about how much I disliked stuff.

But then I grew up. You don't have to eat olives if you don't want. But if you restrict your life to your little pre-approved list of acceptable foods, you're missing out.

Life is short. Way too short. You don't want to discover how delicious a dirty martini with blue cheese olives is when you're old.

Your loss, buddy. Olives taste great and go great on several foods, like pizza, rice, spaghetti, tacos, salad.

Weirdly enough, I didn't like them back when I was small, like up to 10yo or so.

I like a variety of olives. Like most foods, it's possible you'd like an olive, if you had a bunch to choose from.

I don't like the pits on olives, but cut up they are alright.

I'm strange but my favourite pizza topping combo is black olives and pineapple.

There's dozens of us! Hello fellow person of culture!

Hadriscus ,

The pits ? does that mean the kernels ? are they called pits ?

TrickDacy ,

100% called pits

Throw pepperoni on there, and it's mine, too.

I will die on this hill.

Do it. Leaves more olives for the rest of us.

Hadriscus ,

Also may make good bonemeal for an olive tree to grow there

OP, your sacrifice means more olives

TrickDacy ,

The best take of the thread 😂

I use to love black olives but idk what changed every single time I get them now they're brownish and taste spoiled. It doesn't matter where I go they're all the same now.

Not everyone can be right about everything.

xc2215x ,

Personally I do.

Not sure what kind they are, but Pearls Olives are great.

Dont like things like Greek olives.

Green olives are gross most of the time, but I dont mind them on a pizza with a bunch of other toppings.

Like them? I love them!!

For me olives were an acquired taste.

The first time I ate in a restaurant I was about 12 I think. It was a fancy Italian place. When I saw the dishes of (green, pimento-stuffed) olives on the table I was excited to try one. I'd only ever seen pictures of them in American magazines - this was mid-60s New Zealand, Coca Cola was exotic. I put one in my mouth, and almost gagged, the flavour was so completely awful. I spat it into a napkin.

Fast forward to today, and I would gladly hoover up the whole dishful and ask for more. My favourite olive is a big fat juicy Kalamata. I also love tapenade made with black olives. The only olives I dislike are the flavourless cardboardy lumps sometimes passed off as olives.

Tapenade is the nectar of gods. I'm from Marseille so you opened the door to my heart
