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

Olives are delicious, olive oil is ghastly. What's up with that?

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.

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

Black olives? Yes

Green/Greek olives? Nope!

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.

Olives are pretty great. Like the green ones more than then darker 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

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

EDIT: No edits! It stays as it stands!

Olives are delicious.

Like them? I love them!!

Only on pizza

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

Olives are good, my whole family likes them.

I don't like em, but not to the level of gross. Pickles are gross for me, olives I can either move to the side or ignore as a mildly worse meal.

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.

Hate ‘em, but I’m ok with olive oil.

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.

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

I'm with you. They're gross.

Olives are great! Olive Gardens? Not so much.

The great thing, for most people, about a food being gross is that you don't have to eat it. Is someone forcing you to eat olives? I mean, maybe you've just not tried fresh olives?

I do like an olive now and again.
