4,5,6 & 8. Olives in a salad, pickles on a sandwich and artichoke on a pizza
I like them all haha.
Pickles might be my favorite though.
Round here we call cornichons “sweet gherkins” and they’re pretty good
Also: At one point you put black olives on your fingertips for the last time and you didn’t know it.
Cornichons aren’t sweet, though. (Different kind of brine.)
I guess it’s pretty American to add a bunch of sugar to something lol
Yeah, I love sweet gherkins, and when there is an unlabeled dish of cornichons I get very upset at the surprise sour/bitter/black pepper flavors. Give me that DelMonte high fructose corn syrup sweet pickle!
Also the only food whose squeak can give cheese curds or calamari a run for their auditory money.
That day has not yet come.
Pickled asparagus and pepperoncinis.
You just made a list of many of the things I truly hate, food wise, lol. I guess sun-dried tomatoes are okay? 😅
I’m the exact opposite. Sun-dried tomatoes taste stale and plasticky to me. Everything else on the list is fantastico. Where would we be without capers in tartare sauce, or black olives on pizza?
Where would we be without black olives on pizza
We’d have pizza people actually wanted to eat!
Don’t get me wrong, if you want to keep more pizza for yourself, then olives are a great deterrent and that’s a legit strategy.
If you want to do a real case study, get only two pizzas and put olives on one, pineapple on the other, and just watch.
Or green olives in an extra dirty martini?
Have you ever had homegrown sundried cherry tomatoes? I think there’s a huge difference in flavor between good and bad tomatoes
Homegrown tomatoes of any type will beat the hell out of anything purchased at a store.
I feel like I could save this picture and show it to people next time they ask what foods I can’t stand.
I think pickled onions count and should be here so I would say that but I also enjoy capers in the right setting.
Pickles will never voluntarily touch my plate, and when they do I push my plate to the nearest pickle person so I don’t have to remove it myself and get contaminated with the vinegar.
Sun dried tomatoes and the occasional kalamata olive I can tolerate. Artichoke hearts and roasted bell peppers are awesome.
marinated garlic cloves, olives stuffed with almonds, mini peppers with cream cheese
also, capers and cornichons have no business being food.
None. None of those. Why would I want to punish my mouth like that? Jesus dude, get help. Have you heard about chocolate?
I love pickles, Kalamata olives, kimchi, and artichoke hearts. I’d say I like everything else, although I’ve had some bad green olives and am not crazy about capers.
Pickles are definitely my favorite on that list. My favorite is probably zesty bread and butter, but I also love dill. Black olives are alright. Most pickled veg are pretty good. Pickled jalapenos are good, but I much prefer fresh ones.
I casually snack on cornichons straight out of the jar, or else with ham and camembert on a French baguette. In that case I’ll slice them lengthwise just so they don’t roll off.
I make my own kimchi, sauerkraut, and various Chinese fermented vegetables.
I make what I call a “dirty margarita.” Jalapeño stuffed olives are a must.
In a salad, kalamata or dried black olives.
Green olives. Preferably stuffed with garlic.
All have their place, but canned black olives tap into childhood nostalgia. Putting an olive on each finger and eating them one at a time.
