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

I will die on this hill.

    Olives are gross as a food/garnish. Their oil, though, is not. I will put olive oil, Parmesan, and basil on literally anything, and it comes out delicious.

    I would guess you have a palate more used to high fructose corn syrup than high tree foreign shit

    What kinds of olives have you had? Have they been those cheap canned olives that sit on shelves for years? Then yeah, they’re not great, more and at giving an olive flavor to dishes. If you’ve had fresh olives, those can be amazing. That said, black and green olives taste different and you may have a preference between the two (like some people prefer red or green apples), and there are a bunch of different varieties as well.

      I always wonder how many people don’t realize that olives aren’t supposed to taste like a tin can and have the texture of wet cardboard.

        My brother-in-law always “hated olives”, and then he came over for a party where we had set up an olive bar, which he vehemently and repeatedly declined. But we were hanging around afterward and, as you do when you’re not really thinking and there’s food hanging around, he absently ate one. He then made his way down the entire bar - I think we had like 20 different types (some were stuffed). Now he gets pouty if we have a party and there aren’t any olives, lol!

    That’s not an argument, it’s an opinion and you are entitled to it, completely wrong as it may be.

    If you are going to Die on this hill, what’s the point of opening it up an argument.

    To each their own, you hate olives, I like them.

    I guess I’ll also die on that hill

    Your loss, buddy. Olives taste great and go great on several foods, like pizza, rice, spaghetti, tacos, salad.

    Weirdly enough, I didn’t like them back when I was small, like up to 10yo or so.

    Their taste is pretty neutral to me but I end up puking after eating the black ones. Not really sure why.
