Olives
I used to hate them but now I am a confirmed addict.
I can't get enough of them and keep having to have olive breaks at work.
Been told they are abit like marmite, you either love em or hate em.
Stuffed with garlic are the business, mmmmmmmmmmmm yummy.
Just thought I'd share.

They deffo like marmite as I hate both. Ive tried them about 5-6 times over the last year as so many people I know love them inc my old man and stuff their faces with them. Whilst green ones are palatable I wouldnt call them pleasant. As for the black ones no way. They even make a pizza disgusting to taste let a lone to look at - looks like a few beetles have been toasted alive

Horrible taste, horrible smell, horrible texture. Other than that they're OK.
One of the only things I absolutely will not eat.

They are horrible, and i agree wiv P1Fanatic. Olives can quite easily ruin a pizza even if it's your favourite type. They contaminate it haha

The green ones are the devil's bogeys.
The black ones are the devil's bogeys after a nose bleed.

A taste for olives comes with increasing maturity, sophistication and suaveness
I always eat them with my Irn Bru

Although there are several different varieties of olives the black ones are simply ripened green olives as they come from the same tree. The wood of an olive tree makes excellent logs, almost as good a matured oak.
