Olives. Yay or nay?

[beorhthelm]

Even Diana didn't like olives. She said they tasted like starving africans toes.

bu Diana would have loved starving africans toes. preferably in a light chilli oil dressing.

Olives are AMAZING.

Food of the gods.

Anyone who doesn't appreciate them is IGNORANT

Correct.

Next time you go to any sort of event with a full spread on offer, I've got no doubt you'll find [MENTION=3566]hans kraay fan club[/MENTION] and [MENTION=70]Easy 10[/MENTION] and their ilk over on the children's table, tucking into the Happy Shopper Wotsits and cocktail sticked Cheese & Pineapple squares whilst us adults enjoy the adult food such as olives and pistachio nuts.

 

[Steve Foster]

love them except those in plastic tubs. Seem to taste of the cellophane wrapper.
Can't beat those from the markets.

 

[tubaman]

The trouble is................they all look the same even when they are bad. Its not until you have bitten into a rotten one that you know how bad something can taste.

 

[CHAPPERS]

I like em stuffed with pimentos, garlic and, best of all, anchovies.

 

[Braders]

remember flooding the Churchill Square toilets in vomit due to the SMELL of them when the cart used to be in the middle of the shopping centre


it's a big fat NO for me.

 

[Bwian]

That rare combination of delicious snack and healthy to boot.

Delicious-yes; Healthy-no (salt content not good for my blood pressure)

 

[The Original]

Pure filth. But I do like the peppers stuffed with cream cheese...

It would seem that every single one I've ever tasted or smelled, has been one of those 'rotten' ones.

Really? Bollocks. Just the humble raisin left then, in the healthy, tasty snack range.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Correct.

Massively wrong. I'll be gorging myself on the pistachio nuts and all manner of strong cheese (before popping across to the kids' table, to nick a couple of bright pink 'Party Ring' biscuits)

 

[Notters]

I think they're yummy. But then I like most things, it's fussy eaters that get on my tits

 

[Colossal Squid]

Correct.

Quite.

And as the GROWN UPS are quaffing ever so drinkable Rioja's or perhaps a nice Cabernet, these philistines will be no doubt necking cocktails of White Lightning and Lucozade

Understandable.

 

[Badger]

Bang. On.

"Oh, aren't these olives simply divine?" (God, these are foul, but I'll look unsophisticated in front of Raef and Prunella, if I spit it out).

"Aren't they? I had them imported especially from a little place in Sardinia". (And they were damn pricey, so we've got to get rid of them somehow).

"Really? Yum" (Wish they had some f***ing pringles)

If accompanied by those kind of comments then I probably would be put off them and make a hasty exit to avoid any further DRIVEL emanating from the host's mouth.

 

[beardy gull]

I used to HATE them. HATE them I say. Then the foxy Italian MILF of a former girlfriend made me eat one EVERY day. That was nearly 20 years ago.

They are DELICIOUS.

If you don't like them you have the taste buds of a CHILD. You probably don't like PICKLED WALNUTS either.

GROW UP!

 

[brighton_girl87]

I want to like them as they look delicious, especially those STUFFED ones you get in delis but bleaugh I hate them!

 

[Gregory2Smith1]

don't like olives,but love olive oil
don't like tomato sauce,but love tomatoes

 

[Dave the OAP]

yup....the ones at jamie Olivers restaurant opposite the ramada or what ever its called are really great, expecially the big ones stuffed with feta cheese and chilli!

If I were allowed to NIBBLE one each day from between the BREASTS of a Bellucci-esque Italian MILF, then I would be prepared to TOLERATE that. Only then. And only ONE, mind.

And again on the CHILD'S tastebuds SLUR;

Single Malt - Yay
Stilton and such - Yay

Olives -
