Loved by: My husband and children
Loathed by: ME!
My kids beg for more olives. They can’t just have 1, 2, or 5. They want a truckload. I have to severely limit them, or they’d eat an entire can. I, on the other hand, cannot stand them. I tried. I really, really, really tried to love them. I’ve had many meals made with olives being the main flavoring component and…ugh. Just ugh. My kids get to split any olives I pull off my pizza. Good riddance!
But I’ll continue to buy cans of them just for my boys.
What about you? Do you love them or loathe them?
LOATHE! gross.
amen!
I LOATHE olives! My husband loves them and so does my dad and sister but I can’t stand them. The flavour is way too strong!
exactly! they tend to overwhelm.
I loathe black olives (and probably green olives with pimentos – they look gross), but I really like Kalmatta olives.
Interesting! I’ve never tried kalamata olives, because they look just like black olives and I assumed they tasted the same.
I love black olives and eat them by the canful. Yummmmm.
d’awwww! i love all olives! dave always gives me his. winning.
For not liking them this is a pretty awesome picture! :-) I love olives – in salads, in pizzas, rice and by themselves. Send them my way if your kids ever get bored of them!
haha thanks! :D
Loathe. I’ve tried and tried to like them, too, but they’re just icky. I do love olive oil, though!
ooohh me too!
Love the green ones, loathe the black ones! The black ones taste so… dusty, if you know what I mean. But green olives? Oh yes, give me a jar full and I won’t stop eating until they’re gone.
I tried a green one once and it was too…sour? I don’t remember exactly. I just remember putting them in my “do not eat” list.
LOVE!
mmm i used not to like them but now they are growing on me. I can still find them abit strong though.
they used to say that if you eat 11 in a row then you will like them. funny saying isnt it
Barnicles
ha! I don’t think I could make it to 11!
They’re just alright. I don’t really love them and I don’t really hate them. If they show up in front of me like in my cocktail or on a pizza I eat them, but I’m not going to go snarfing all the olives I can get my hands on.
Love black olives :) but not green ones though :(
I can take ’em or leave ’em
That’s pretty funny that your kids love something you don’t! Usually they take after you! Me? I’m pro- olive.
My sister and I are just like your kids (at least when it comes to olives). Omnomnom! We could eat a whole can…often when we’re cooking we’ll buy one just to snack on while we make dinner.
