    Most people I know love olives. I don't like them at all. If they are in or on a food I will not eat it. I can't even stand the leftover flavor that it leaves. Or the smell.:noway: That being said, I feel like *I* am the one that is the minority by not liking them.

    How can you have snack dinner or antipasto without olives??!


    I'm on the "LOVES OLIVES" team.

    No. They are the devil's food.

    I worked at Pizza Hut when I was a teenager and the bin of black olives always looked like a bin of black beetles to me. Shiny and interesting, but not something to eat!

    edit: Incidentally, I was a cook, and orders with black olives were fairly rare. Probably the least used item on the line aside from banana peppers, as I recall.

    I love olives (especially pickled in alcohol). I don't like frozen pizza or pre-packaged meals. So not worth the calories.

    Personally not at all. Yuck. But my sister loves them all. My g/f likes black ones only.

    I'm obsessed with black olives. The people at subway know my order immediately when they see me because it's "weird". I get no dressing at all, just chicken, tomatoes, spinach and extra extra extra black olives. When they finish, I ask them to add more.

    I eat them out of the can pretty often as well. I'm the same way with mushrooms.

    Yes.

    Kalamata, black, green, ripe and freshly pickled, doesn't matter. If it's an olive, I'll eat it.

    I'll second that.

    Ditto....

    I don't really care for olives. I will eat them if they are already on a pizza has long as the pizza is not covered in olives.

    The people at Subway know me by the amount of banana peppers I order on my sub. "A lot" does not mean daintily pick it up with your thumb and forefinger and place it on my sandwich. =\

    I don't like olives. Any kind. Neither does my husband.

    But the rest of my family, I believe, all love them, and I can't think of a single friend who doesn't love the things.

    LOVE them! Everyone in my family loves them. I could eat a whole jar of spanish pimento stuffed olives in a single sitting. I put olives on everything from salad to pizza to mexican, greek and italian dishes.

    I would eat an entire can of black olives in one sitting, and I absolutely LOVE green olives in certain food dishes and my bloody marys!

    I love love love olives, any type, any style, on pretty much anything short of ice cream. It's just too bad about the salt, since I'm trying to reduce my sodium.

    Probably an ol' wives tale, but I heard if you eat one olive every day for 10 days you will end up liking them!

    I have been known to eat them, but I am not a great fan, the rest of the family are though!

    :happy:
