Black olives C/D

**THIS IS NOT A BUZZ BAND THREAD**

They taste like metal! Like having a penny in your mouth! Why do people like black olives?

salt

green olives are saltier

the actual taste of cunnilingus is closer to metal spoons dipped in butter

No, they don't taste like metal! This might be one of those situations where people experience very different taste? Like cilantro.

what do you mean by black olives? there are dozens of types of olives, many different curing methods, etc

also, olives are delicious

if you mean like cheap black olives from a can, they are not good, they do kind of taste like the tin can, though occasionally i like them on cheap pizza

if you mean like moroccan oil-cured black olives, those are delicious

I used to hate black olives until someone put them on a pepperoni pizza, at which point I went "OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH okay, I can get down on this"

black olives are delicious! well, not the ones from a can.

I am referring to cheap sliced black olives. I do prefer them to their green counterpart on cheap pizza.

Jess maybe you should have waited a couple days lmbo

The trick is you put one on the end of each finger and maybe your thumb. Then they are delicious. Also your fingers feel weird and heavy like they're going to flop over, but they don't.

all olives are good

i can't help but wonder if jordan has eaten a black olive before

Black olives are the least essential olives, although my son agrees with DJP about putting them on pepperoni pizza

good on enchiladas too

metal taste is interesting... only thing i ever had that tasted like metal were these cheap cigarettes from the philippines.

All olives are extremely bad

.. to the bone!

Olives dont have bones they have pits. Dummy

And the pits are extremely bad too

^ cosign on olive pits. worst part of the olive by far.

龜, it rly sucks to have to break this to you, but when you become Truly Adult, you discover the deliciousness of olives, in this moment simultaneously discovering the error of yr ways, but also, tragically, once you have reached this enlightened stage of True Adulthood, it is only olives that are enjoyable, the rest of your life as sour & chewy as you once found olives. you shd either try to appreciate olives, now, in advance of them being yr only membrane to feeling, or else try to die young, blessedly ignorant, unbaptized.

Olives

wunderkammer of stillborn etc

we used to stuff canned green olives into canned black olives and say they were Kermit the Frog's eyes, then eat them maniacally.

at a family dinner a friend of my mother's remarked that it was safe to leave the olive tray on the table since my kids, at the time little, wouldn't want to eat them, since kids don't like olives. he then saw that my kids were already polishing off the olive tray. obv he was a midwesterner.

Cheap black olives on pizza/nachos/enchiladas, etc. Kalamata olives on a greek salad. That's all I know about olives. I need to hit up an olive bar and get schooled.

the only acceptable use for cheap black olives is bingeing on them straight out of the jar

or Subway

being of Mediterranean extraction I have more of a say in this than you craven appropriators

龜, it rly sucks to have to break this to you, but when you become Truly Adult, you discover the deliciousness of olives

i'm hurt you would describe my time at gawker in this way

midwesterners love black and green olives

they only dig the weird fancy ones if they're fancy city people

my midwestern family are fancy city people and they love all kinds of olives true

my dad grew up eating those big purple alphonso olives in peru and he introduced us to those, those are the best olives imo

all olives are good

OTM

why didn't treezy's post get this much action

too fancy obv

So I have a really strong aversion to olives (all olives) that goes beyond the metallic taste. They make my mouth burn, almost the way that spicy food does (except I like spicy food). On a couple of occasions I've eaten an olive dip or kalamata spread without knowing what it was and my first thought was "this is spoiled, nobody eat this."

I think maybe I'm allergic? Does anybody else have the same reaction?

what about olive oil?

i have a friend who is scared of pickles and olives. like to the point of serious meltdown terrified. kind of unnerving, tbh.

I hate olives but don't mind the flavor of olive oil.

Once I ordered a pizza with black olives, got broccoli
damn my accent

Olive oil doesn't bother me at all. But every other olive product makes my mouth burn. They are the only food I cannot eat.

olives of all types are great

Black olives, though labeled as “ripe” on supermarket cans, actually aren’t: these, a California invention, are green olives that have been cured in an alkaline solution, and then treated with oxygen and an iron compound (ferrous gluconate) that turns their skins a shiny patent-leather black. Olive aficionados don’t think much of these, though in my experience, kids love the pitted versions, which are tailor-made for sticking on the ends of fingers.

Not all men black olives.

black 'lives matters

he'll rue that extraneous s
