      Olives are the one food that I don’t like. Seriously, the one thing. So for me, olives have always been a lie

      Replace this pic with pickles though and I’m 1000% on board

        I once thought I didn’t like olives, till I tried some Spanish olives from a local market there. I realised that I just dislike bad olives

          Dude, I’m telling ya. at this point I love trying new exotic ones in hopes that I’ll find one I like… Maybe it’ll be a taste acquisition once I hit my 40s?

        Hated olives for my entire life untill my wife let me taste some lettinos. Those where amazing most kalamata olives are great and tasty aswell avoid those from the supermarket though they seem to be soaked in preservatives.

        There is a world of quality differences in olives. The ones who are not homogeneous of color seem to be ages over time instead of with acid.

      I could always count on one of those giant sams club jars of green olives from my grandma on my birthday when I was a kid.

      That you’d regret it? What’s to regret from becoming a Greek philosopher slash Olympic warrior?
