I need to settle an argument I started. My argument: olives are gross.
I will die on this hill.

Do it. Leaves more olives for the rest of us.
Also may make good bonemeal for an olive tree to grow there
OP, your sacrifice means more olives

I like olives.
Clearly not a martini drinker
This might as well be heaven for me.
I will die on this hill.
R.I.P.
I would have died on that hill with you for most of my life.
But it always seemed odd to me; I wasn’t a picky eater so what was different about olives?! I would try them from time to time but still gagged on them.
Then I tried some while I was living in the Middle East. They slowly be came more and more palatable until now I love them.
Those shitty canned black sliced olives are still awful though 🥴
So you’re saying that I need to travel to where olives are made?
Or just to a middle eastern grocer.
Also - Castelvetrano are the olives that non-olive people often like. The flavor is mild and buttery, not as sour as most but without the metallic edge the black olives have.
Thank you for the recommendations! I might see if the super fancy grocery store by my work has those olives. If they don’t, then I’ll try to find a middle eastern grocer. I don’t mind taking a minor road trip to find legit olives. I wanna know if I just don’t like the ones I’ve been exposed to.
I’m in a similar boat. Manzanilla olives are the only ones I like! Pit-in or bust.
Lindsay’s are good. But not as good as kalamata.
You are supposed to fill the black ones with easy cheese.
You’re entitled to your wrong opinion.
Fuckin love em
I don’t like olives.
But it doesn’t need to be an argument.
I do not like olives.
I’m not a picky eater at all but I loathe olives. If they’re in a dish I can’t taste anything else.
Love them to bits. They are the best.
… just get the nice marinated deli ones, not the disgusting chalky-felty sliced O-rings you get in jars.
There’s no comparing the two. If all you’ve tried is those little abominations, I can’t blame you in the slightest for hating them.
Please try the good ones.
Olives are the best Change my mind
Olives killed my family
Your family probably deserved it.

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.
Kalamata! The best, according to me and several others in this thread.
You are wrong. You don’t like them.
