No, not Popeye's friend. Why do so many people seem to hate olives? (I noticed a comment on another thread earlier). I love them in so many things but especially on their own. What better than having a few olives whilst enjoying your favourite drink. This thread is for the lovers, not the hatets.Go on lovers, show some love for those gorgeous little specimens of goodness and deliciousness

I tried. I really, really tried more than once. Even fresh when in the med. But I’ll have to leave others to discuss their redeeming features!

Only had them in a vodka martini - was a bit bitter. Although not sure you’re supposed to snaffle it or it’s just for decoration?

Fresh olives? Fresh? A fresh olive is a memorable experience. Eaten them off my own tree once. The tree didn't survive the winter, and it's not an experience anyone ever repeats - although I did find you could stick fresh olives in a stew and if you did it early enough they'd be excellent by the end.

But a fresh olive straight off the tree is an unforgettable sermon in mouth puckering, face wrenching bitterness. Try it once, for the experience. Try it twice and you need help.

Olives stuffed with anchovies or garlic or chilli are my favourite.

Yes and the ones in herbs are awsome. Personally prefer the green ones but black are nice too. Usually the greem ones with drinks, salads etc and the black omes for tapenade, bread, pizzas ...

I had a bowl of green olives years back, never forgot the taste. Its hard to describe but it's one of tastes I can recall. I can understand why many don't like. But they really bring the flavour. Nowadays it what I can get in the supermarket

Somewhere Jay Rayner has written that you should never date someone who doesn't like oysters. Actually he said a woman should never date a man who doesn't like them, but it works both ways.

Olives, bread, cheese, tomatoes, perhaps a spring onion. What's not to like
