More olives for meeeee

tobogganablaze ,

Nope. They're disgusting.

I eat them, but I too find then distasteful.

MrsDoyle ,

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

stoy ,

No, I don't like them

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

AnalogyAddict ,

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

I can take 'em or leave 'em. Mushrooms on the other hand can fuck right off.

Pietson ,

I like mushrooms but I'm not having any of that undercooked gray crap. Add plenty of oil and turn up the heat. Mushrooms should be golden brown.

Bytemeister ,

Butter, salt, sliced mushrooms. Sautee in a pan until they get down to about 1/2 their original size. Garnish with a steak. Heaven on a plate.

Pietson ,

In my experience they don't brown as well in butter. I suspect it may have to do with the water in it getting absorbed, so they don't get as hot.

Bytemeister ,

Use a little butter to keep them from sticking, once they start browning, add butter to the desired butteryness

Hadriscus ,

All mushrooms ? even fresh pinins grilled with garlic and parsley ?

Not the same guy but yes, all mushrooms. I once had pizza with some mushrooms (took them off of course) that left enough of a taste on the pizza itself I almost puked from eating one slice. I cannlt stomach the taste

Same here, mushrooms are the one thing I never grew out of hating. Everything about them is disgusting to me from the weird texture, the way they look, and the mouldy/dirty taste they have. Mushrooms are pretty much the only food I 100% refuse to eat no matter what.

tacosplease ,

I'm with you. They're gross.

Jeanschyso ,

Give me your olives then. I don't mind

JustAnotherRando ,

Olives exist to be pressed and processed for oil. Olive oil is delicious, but I can't stand olives themselves.

NeoNachtwaechter ,

I will die on this hill.

R.I.P.

Love. I love olives. But I don’t buy those cheap garbage I grew up on. I get much better ones

UmeU ,

This isn’t worth dying over, and olives are great so just relax a little bit.

FanciestPants ,

Maybe the best fruit

TrickDacy ,

You haven't specified what types you've tried so I have a feeling you've a shaky basis for disliking them

Theharpyeagle ,

I realize now that I've only tried black and green olives, I wonder what worlds of flavor I'm missing out on.

Also unrelated, but as a kid I thought olives just naturally had pimentos in them.

TrickDacy ,

Kalamata! The best, according to me and several others in this thread.
