Ask Lemmy

I like olives, but not all olives. There's some nasty olives out there.

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.

Black olives? Yes

Green/Greek olives? Nope!

I think olives are gross but I like them anyway. Only green olives though - black tastes bad.

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 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

Olives are delicious.

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

Love them. Especially the green ines. Sometimes i oick up a jar as a mivie snack.

EDIT: No edits! It stays as it stands!

Like them? I love them!!

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.

Only on pizza

Olives are delicious, olive oil is ghastly. What's up with that?

Olives are pretty great. Like the green ones more than then darker ones.

No. With the exception of small shriveled black olives on pizza or nachos.

Whole, wet, green, black, pitted, or unpitted all the rest can get bent.

I like black but not green or kalamata.

I love them. I prefer green olives the way we prepare them in my country, to black.

Hated every kind, had some actually great ones in Greece, now I can sorta kinda get behind black olives. Greens are still a bit too bitter for my preference.

I agree with you. Olives are some of the most gross food I know. I will literally gag if I eat them.

Their taste is pretty neutral to me but I end up puking after eating the black ones. Not really sure why.

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?

Olives are good, my whole family likes them.

No, I do not like olives. I can enjoy them in some dishes, but those are few and far between.
