      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.

      Obviously your assupmtion that everyone hates olives is wrong...

      I personally could eat a whole jar of black olives in one sitting...

      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.

      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.

      i love olives, Fantastic on pizza especially with artichoke and asparagus. They also make a salad sandwich along with gherkins.

      I LOOOOVE olives! ever since I was youner I would eat them straight out of the can....(putting them on my fingers first of course hehe) and now my kids do it as well! however my husband is not a fan of them.

      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:
