Agreed, and I hate how many olives they tend to put in something.

Even the smell of Olives causes me to gag. I absolutely cannot eat them. Olive oil is fine. But actual olives, no. Doesn't matter if they're old, new, canned, fresh. They're absolutely disgusting. One of the few foods I outright cannot and will not eat.

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

I eat green olives straight out of the can for lunch sometimes.

A side effect of aging for me is that now I like olives.

I hate them and agree, my wife loves them and 100% disagrees. She once had her olive privileges rescinded at a local bar.

I hate olives. I looooove olive oil.

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 hated olives when I was a kid, then I grew to love it. Same with ginger. Red beets and celery I will never like though.

Love them. Just the thought of them makes me salivate. Prefer kalamata but green are perfectly fine "daily drivers". Won't touch black ones.

Black olives are just okay, green are pretty good and kalamata are heavenly.

Love all olives!

Maybe the best fruit

Olives themselves, meh, but I fucking love olive oil.

Give me your olives then. I don't mind

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

Needless to say, I hate olives.

they are grapes that never learned the grace of god

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.

Olives are amazing. I can buy a jar of it and eat it all in one go.

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.

Black olives? Yes

Green/Greek olives? Nope!

Like them? I love them!!

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.

It's funny you ask. I used to hate them. But over time, I was determined to overcome my food phobias.

No, but my oldest son(6) loves them. There used to be an olives stand at the farmer's market near us and we surprised them by bringing a toddler who wanted olives. We let him try a bunch of different kinds. I will eat olives if I'm drunk and someone gives me a slice of pizza that has them, but otherwise they're a no for me.

Rotted fruit in a barrel of brine. Our ancestors did what they had to to get by, but it's a different age now.

Like the French and snails. Don't tell me that's fancy eating. Twas a plate developed by and for starving fucking peasants. When do you eat a snail? When the alternative is somehow worse.

Olives are barbarism.

I love them. But they can vary significantly in taste, quality, and texture. I definitely like some better than others.

And olive oil is fundamental to cooking. (Though it's often overused and a cheaper oil would be a better choice).
