Poll: Olives

[Phil W]

Love them or loathe them?

I love them! Best served with some Feta and Sun-Dried tomatoes IMO!

Kalamata are probably my favourite...

You?

 

[Syph]

I love olives, though not so much black olives. Kalamata are lovely. I like them spicy.

Really not a fan, though I'm trying to train myself to like them since they're so prevalent at lunches, parties, meals out etc.

I like worse things (Marmite) so why shouldn't I be able to force myself to like olives?

 

[J1234]

I like them. Never used to though, but I kept eating them and made myself like them.

When I start eating them I can't stop eating them, but I'm still not sure if I like them, and I ate lots for lunch yesterday.

Add them to home-made pizzas, if the jar lasts that long!

 

[Putty]

I used to hate olives however in recent years I have started enjoying them - especially black olives!

I know exactly what you mean. I'll happily eat them but I'm just not sure if the flavour is actually nice.

 

[PapaLazaru]

Love them, but not a fan of the ones where they let them soak in olive oil and they go big.

 

[krooton]

I dislike most olives, but I find that it's because they can differ so much in quality/texture/flavour.

I will eat them if I am starving and waiting for proper food though.

 

[haaammit]

Love em but prefer green ones tbh. Yam yam yam. The missus absolutely detests them though

olives are one of the nastiest things i've ever had the misfortune to place in my mouth.

 

[Glaucus]

Love them depending on brand and much prefer black, some are just way to salty.

 

[TheDean]

i love them!!! Those & cashew nuts with a nice glass of champagne sets me up for a right meal!

 

[bledd]

I'd say I'm neutral towards them

3 or 4 at a time is plenty

Lucky you!

 

[Guerrilla]

Love olives and sun dried tomatoes and feta

 

[Craig1981]

I would usually say loathe them. Way too salty. But I recently had some black olives on a platter of nachos and they were actually kinda nice.

Love 'em although the one's over here never appear to be as good abroad.. I'm not overly keen on stuffed.. like them as they come.
