I need to settle an argument I started. My argument: olives are gross.
I will die on this hill.
Black olives are the shit. Green olives are shit.
I’ve heard many people say the opposite of this.
(My own team is olive hater)
Olives exist to be pressed and processed for oil. Olive oil is delicious, but I can’t stand olives themselves.

A side effect of aging for me is that now I like olives.
I eat green olives straight out of the can for lunch sometimes.
Love them. Just the thought of them makes me salivate. Prefer kalamata but green are perfectly fine “daily drivers”. Won’t touch black ones.
The correct set of opinions ^
Like them? I love them!!
tbh olives are great in salads, I could never eat them on their own tho😬
Hate ‘em, but I’m ok with olive oil.
I used to hate olives, along with a lot of other things. Peppers. Beans. Blue cheese. And I used to tell everyone about how much I disliked stuff.
But then I grew up. You don’t have to eat olives if you don’t want. But if you restrict your life to your little pre-approved list of acceptable foods, you’re missing out.
Life is short. Way too short. You don’t want to discover how delicious a dirty martini with blue cheese olives is when you’re old.
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 themselves, meh, but I fucking love olive oil.
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
No, I do not like olives. I can enjoy them in some dishes, but those are few and far between.
High quality olives stuffed with jalapeño or feta cheese is chefs kiss.
Kalakaua olives on a salad. Are you kidding me? The best.
Garlic stuffed green olives!
