Ask Lemmy

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

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.

I like them stirred with gin and vermouth and served in a cocktail glass. Alcohol makes everything better.

So, a martini.

Olives are good, my whole family likes them.

I do like an olive now and again.

I think olives in brine are not nice, but a life changing way to eat olives is to marinate them in an olive oil/rosemary/garlic kind of marinade over several days and they are truly a game changer.

tbh olives are great in salads, I could never eat them on their own tho😬

Love

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

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

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

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.

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.

Nope. They're disgusting.

I've tried olives. I just couldn't get past the juices that they're stored in which I feel ruins the taste.

I prefer sliced olives on supreme pizzas and that's it.

Too many olives is gross. Some olives is acceptable.

No, I don't like them

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 eat them, but I too find then distasteful.

Olives are easily the most disgusting food I've ever had and I'm extremely adventurous. It's worse than bugs and spiders and snakes (delicious btw) and all manner of internal organs. Blegh!

Hey this is fun, Lemmy! Downvote me for agreeing with OP in a fun post and in a approachable way! Asking about my little escapades or what snake taste like? No, of course not. FUCK ME. Lemmings suck the fun out of everything. Surprised someone didn't tell me to KMS and mean it.

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

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.

Black olives are the shit. Green olives are shit.
