i find them to be bitterly metallic and sour and unpleasantly salty. anybody else on WP share my aversion to the flavor of olives? i won't eat anything that has olives in it, or even the flavoring of olives. picking them one-by-one out of food cooked with olives in the mix does no good, as the unpleasant olive flavor holds fast to said food- one might as well try to ummix milk and tea.
i'd much rather have some nice tart raspberry sherbet or some heavenly peanut butter and chocolate ice cream!

I do like olives...very much...but I don't crave to eat them or need to have them.

If they're in something... great, but if not...meh...

I used to hate them, just as I used to hate marmite and coffee, but now I find them not so bad in moderation.
I prefer green ones to black ones.
Green olives stuffed with anchovies are the best. :)

I've rarely tasted somethingworse... I hope hell doesn't taste better, or I'll have to change my vote. I didn't get the ice cream option :?: :?: :?: .

Can't stand the olive. Olive oil is fine, but the vile little round black and green fruits (?) are disgusting.

Olives are my favorite.

I prefer green ones...dunno if I could ever eat them raw, though.
