To wonder how anyone can like olives?

[Wildlady]

I hate them.

Have you tried Necerello olives? They are the round bright green ones with the pits left in.

Mmm, salty, delicious olives. I buy the biggest jar of green olives available in Tesco and I eat them with everything.

We love them, DS 3 often asks for them as a snack

The dry black, Morrocan ones are the best.

My cat begs and cries for Kalamata olives. I only give him a half of one, a couple times a week, because I don't think he needs the salt. And, it works out to just 13 mg per half

I started liking olives around the same time as I started to like houmous and Port. I don’t drink Port now but I could eat olives every day!

Coriander is utterly vile on the other hand and even the tiniest amount is detectable and will ruin everything it touches.

Spanish queen olives are straight from heaven, especially with preserved lemon rind. Salty paired with tangy - what’s not to love?

Sainburys used to do the most delicious olives in basil ........................and now they don't .

Considering boycott of Sainsbo .

If you're talking about the purple ones that taste like vomit, YANBU.

If you're talking about the Green ones YAB (a bit) unreasonable.

If you're talking about the black ones that aren't at all bitter then YABVU.

Agreed op.
Olives are vile.

Horses for courses my dear!

They are an acquired taste. I used to hate them but love them now.

They're my favourite food!

Surely no need to eat them to be polite -- a waste of a good olive

My toddler loves them. If you have a dish with them in she will pester until you give her all of them. She eats all of hers as soon as possible- picking them out first.

Mmm... olives, especially as below on a Greek salad (but hold the onions), and preferably eastern in Mediterranean sunshine.

Coincidentally, I've just the evening seen 'Art' at the Lowry, which features some wonderfully aggressive olive eating by Nigel Havers, Dennis Lawson and Stephen Tompkinson.

I cant stand the texture. My DC love them but for me just yuck.

ARBEQUINA OLIVES ARE THE MUTT'S NUTS sorry for shouting.

I had nearly a whole jar at lunch today with olive oiled bread random selection of cheeses and hams/sausages (chorizo, fuet, morcilla). Fucking lush, pardon my Latin.

YANBU. I love all food, i turn nothing down...but olives are funky, I tried on them on a few occasions but I cannot acquire a taste for them.

Love them!
My last meal would a huge plate of spaghetti alla puttanesca, loaded with olives, anchovies and capers. Salty, oily heaven.
and a bottle of Nero d’Avola

My DD used to cry if I put them on her her plate and ask me why I'm trying to make her eat eyeballs.

I love olives and so do 2 out of my four children-what’s not to like?

I also used to hate them, but now I can't get enough of them

Gross gross gross
They belong in room 101 with capers, gherkins and goats cheese.

If you eat seven olives (force yourself) you'll like them.

I used to hate olives but I love them now. I'm also verry drunnnk

They belong in room 101 with capers, gherkins and goats cheese.

(though maybe not all at once)
