I use to love black olives but idk what changed every single time I get them now they're brownish and taste spoiled. It doesn't matter where I go they're all the same now.

I like them stirred with gin and vermouth and served in a cocktail glass. Alcohol makes everything better.
So, a martini.
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.
Olives are great, but I also like pickled baby corn, hearts of palm, pickled Okra... I think there is a certain heritage/genetic component to enjoying pickled foods. I have mostly Swedish and German ancestry, just about anything pickled, cured, salted or brined is the shit.
If you haven't tried them yet, oil cured olives are awesome. Kinda bitter, soft and chewy, with a real deep olive flavor. Don't eat to many at once or your shit will slip right past your anus. You've been warned.

Olives are good, my whole family likes them.
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.
I think olives in brine are not nice, but a life changing way to eat olives is to marinate them in an olive oil/rosemary/garlic kind of marinade over several days and they are truly a game changer.
tbh olives are great in salads, I could never eat them on their own tho😬
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 know I've never had fresh olives. Nobody has forced me to eat them. My one friend and I argue (in a joke way) about things we have opposite opinions of lmao. We have different opinions on olives
Too many olives is gross. Some olives is acceptable.
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.
No, I don't like them
I've tried olives. I just couldn't get past the juices that they're stored in which I feel ruins the taste.
I prefer sliced olives on supreme pizzas and that's it.
I eat them, but I too find then distasteful.
I like a variety of olives. Like most foods, it's possible you'd like an olive, if you had a bunch to choose from.
Nope. They're disgusting.
Black olives are the shit. Green olives are shit.
I've heard many people say the opposite of this.
(My own team is olive hater)
Olives exist to be pressed and processed for oil. Olive oil is delicious, but I can't stand olives themselves.
Olives are easily the most disgusting food I've ever had and I'm extremely adventurous. It's worse than bugs and spiders and snakes (delicious btw) and all manner of internal organs. Blegh!
Hey this is fun, Lemmy! Downvote me for agreeing with OP in a fun post and in a approachable way! Asking about my little escapades or what snake taste like? No, of course not. FUCK ME. Lemmings suck the fun out of everything. Surprised someone didn't tell me to KMS and mean it.
Rotted fruit in a barrel of brine. Our ancestors did what they had to to get by, but it's a different age now.
Like the French and snails. Don't tell me that's fancy eating. Twas a plate developed by and for starving fucking peasants. When do you eat a snail? When the alternative is somehow worse.
Olives are barbarism.
