Olives. Yay or nay?

Are olives nasty little clag-nuts?

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!

Well said that man - I used pretty much the same analogy to [MENTION=3566]hans kraay fan club[/MENTION] earlier today.

Young - hate olives and Guiness.
Growns up - love both of the above.

Easy tiger.

I love olives but if I had to choose between olives and cheese&pineapple, I'd find myself in quite a conundrum, I can tell you.
I'm not saying there isn't room for life's simple things like the fabled cheese & pineapple combo, it's just that you will find them on the kid's table along with all the other treats that olive haters like to indulge in, such as Happy Shopper Wotsits and grim, unrecognisable, fatty finger-food that Iceland probably sell by the tray of 150 for £1.49.

What, so you can mix it with the 20 year old Isle of Jura single malt that the ADULTS are enjoying?

I don't think so sonny Jim. Be off with you

Afraid not squid boy.

I'll have snaffled the Jura, along with half the stilton and a box of oatcakes. I had it away, before the try-hards had finished congratulating each other on how divine the olives are, through their forced smiles.

Love olives, especially green ones stuffed with jalapeno or lemon. Go lovely with a beer.

There's only one try hard round here, and that's you trying hard to be an adult.

Olive hater = child. Factoid I'm afraid. Would you like a plastic glass of Dr Pepper?

No thanks.

Please though, continue to enlighten me on how its terribly grown up, to 'educate' your palate to tolerate a food your initial NATURAL reaction is to despise.

Some things are worth teaching your taste buds to enjoy. Beer is a fine example... all kids hate beers but it's worth seeing that through. OLIVES are not in the same league as beer, and hence they should be consigned to the dustbin of life.

No chance mate, you'll be contained with the other kiddies in one of these.

It's a bit like the birds and bees. You'll learn when you grow up son. *pats head*

Just cut and paste, from page 1 - the first time you used the same 'child' argument. The 'Yay' camp, clearly have nothing else.

Wise words.

Nothing is in the same league as beer really though, so are you consigning EVERYTHING you disliked as a child into that there dustbin?

Yes, but only really like decent black ones like kalamata, not over fond of the green or stuffed varieties.

This is Simster, this is:

"Oooh, lah-de-dah, look at me I've got a little olive on a stick floating about in my £10 half-a-mouthful cocktail, aren't I quite the HEIGHT of socialite sophistication ? Look, I've even got my little PINKIE pointing out at a jaunty angle"

With the red peppers inside. But not as good as mini-gherkins. Black ones (w/o pips) go in the tomato stew.

If you didn't know it was hummus, would you eat it?
