I was just saying to my grown up kid not two hours ago “I don’t think I could be friends with an adult that didn’t like olives”.

I think I’d live off them if I could. Bloody lovely things

I was once a non believer. I was told you need to eat 100 before you get it.

But green definitely.

Black less so. Fine in things, but just not snackable on their own.

And fresh green olives in Spain are impressively better. Though is the faff of the stones in them.

Pure bum bead.

I keep trying them, on the off chance I’ve just been unlucky for the last 30 years.

Nope, still taste like oily frog testicles

Disgusting things. I’m convinced no one actually likes them, they just pretend to keep up appearances.

Sadly they’re catching on with the plebs. Can’t have that, so I go from bar to bar surreptitiously misting them with Fairy liquid.

sbob appreciated this post. 🙂

Lovely things but crap ones sell they’re just not great. Aldi were wiped out of them when I was in the other day, I dare not brave a visit today.

Use to hate them now think they are awesome

Same. Never understood how they went from something I disliked so much I would actually have to spit it out to something I love

The ones I have enjoyed most when eaten on their own as a snack are the nocellara variety, which I find have a creamy lemony flavour.

Olives taste like this, in solid form

Disgusting evil things!

Love em, but then I have my own olive grove here in Spain. Green, black and any combinations of them are just different levels of ripeness. Green olives are unripe black olives are ripened on the tree. Olives off the tree are the bitterest things in the world,they need brining to remove this and make them edible. Some of my trees are over five hundred years old.

About 34 secs into this is my opinion of olives and the people who eat them 😆

Contains swearing 😉
