[Judy]

Do you like olives?

YES!!!!

 

[jeffisjeff]

Yes, green (processed with a pimento ) but not black.

 

[once_upon]

Almost all. Garlic stuffed ones, not so much. But I love a good olive bar.

 

[Wyliefan]

Love 'em! I could eat them all day long.

 

[Sarah]

NO! I hate them all.

 

[Simone411]

Totally love them. A friend of mine and I tried a deep pan pizza topped with mushrooms and black olives several years ago, and still order that pizza from Pizza Hut whenever she comes to visit. You think it would taste horrible, but it doesn't. Love love love it!

 

[Judy]

I love pickles too. Just throwing that in .

 

[Private Citizen]

No. I cannot eat green olives at all; even a bite of one will nauseate me. I don't like black olives either, but I can tolerate them mixed in with other things. I love olive oils, though, and I love other bitter / pungent foods including broccoli rabe / rapini, sour pickles, etc.

Do you like olives?

Love black olives on pizza. Green olives -- and especially Kalamata olives -- in a salad.

 

[cygnus]

No. Never. stay away. Unless they are crushed into olive oil.

 

[VALuvsMKwan]

Yes.

 

[skatingfan5]

Yes! But not the green pimento-stuffed ones. The black ones are great on pizza, salads and just by themseles. Two fellow black olive lovers were by best friend's kid brother who I once saw at 3 years old sitting on his front steps methodically working his way through a jar of them. Also my sister's cat who was notorious for stealing olives if they were ever left on the table untended.

 

[Japanfan]

No. Though can tolerate black olives on pizza, on rare occasions.

Food love/dislikes I always say that it’s a bit of a brain thing that decides it for us.

Black olives very mild and less salty then green (for bottled green olives anyways).

 

[Matryeshka]

We need to start a thread about food hates/dislikes .. I always call it my food rules .

You can remove the olives lol.

 

[Garden Kitty]

nope

 

[Cachoo]

There are some foods that usually don't get a lukewarm response. You like them or you dislike them. I like briny foods but I don't like olives at all.

I call it a love/hate relationship .

 

[A.H.Black]

No. If served in a dish at an engagement, I will get them in my mouth and down my throat but I will never choose to eat them

 

[BittyBug]

All you haterz can send your olives my way, but plain only please - no stuffing.

 

[flyingsit]

Ugh.

I'm actually very fond of gefilte fish

I'm actually very fond of gefilte fish

Ok it looks unappetizing to me but the ingredients list actually sounds tasty. But Lutefisk looks ok from a distance but when you hear about the lye and the gelatinous texture—

 

[moebius]

Yes, in general. I wish they weren't so salty. My fave is the green olive, cavestrano, the least saltiest I've tasted. The olives I had in Morocco tasted like it was brined in salt, but no salt was used. Amazing....

 

[taf2002]

I love the black Middle East/Meditarranean olives. If you don't know them they are usually large & have wrinkled skins. My Lebanese grandmother used to pickle her own. So good.

One of my dad's sisters used to pickle hers, too. My family is Syrian, but I know that several of the dishes my dad made were also Lebanese.

There is a Lebanese salad that my dad used to make that included lots of olive oil, and it was so delicious. I'm pretty sure your family probably loved this salad, too! I found a recipe that has all the ingredients that my dad used to make this salad.

Tabbouli Salad ( Tabbouleh)

Tabbouleh or Tabouli is a refreshing classic Lebanese salad recipe. Tabouleh salad is made with fresh parsley, tomatoes, scallions and bulgur wheat with a simple olive oil, lemon and salt dressing
