I need to settle an argument I started. My argument: olives are gross.

I will die on this hill.

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

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

    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.

    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

    High quality olives stuffed with jalapeño or feta cheese is chefs kiss.

    Kalakaua olives on a salad. Are you kidding me? The best.
