Olives - at least as you usually buy them, in brine, often with pepper strips in them - I find delicious. But every person has their own tastes, you can't argue with subjective preferences.

Mostly I think they are gross, but once in a blue moon I'll have something with olives that have been prepared in a way where they actually taste pretty good. It's rare though

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).

I was a bit of a picky eater when I was younger, but I've become much, much less so over the years - one of the few things I've never come around on is olives. The taste and texture combination just don't work for me

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.

Black olives? Yes

Green/Greek olives? Nope!

I like olives, but not all olives. There's some nasty olives out there.

Love them. Especially the green ines. Sometimes i oick up a jar as a mivie snack.

EDIT: No edits! It stays as it stands!

Like them? I love them!!

Only on pizza

Olives are delicious.

canned olives are disgusting. Real ones you get in the mediterranean are amazing. I also hate the green olives but LOVE kalamata olives

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

Not sure what kind they are, but Pearls Olives are great.

Dont like things like Greek olives.

Green olives are gross most of the time, but I dont mind them on a pizza with a bunch of other toppings.

Personally I do.

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

Hate ‘em, but I’m ok with olive oil.

Not everyone can be right about everything.

I do like an olive now and again.

I think olives are gross but I like them anyway. Only green olives though - black tastes bad.

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.

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

Love

I like black but not green or kalamata.

Olives are great! Olive Gardens? Not so much.

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

I'm with you. They're gross.

I am a straight up menace when there's a jar of blue cheese olives around.
