I love olives. Black on my pizza, any color on my salad. I buy the ones that come 10 to a packet and eat as a snack. So good.

I have never liked olives.  Apparently they are a popular food because many grocery stores have special areas with bins where customers can self-serve the varieties they love.

Yes, yes, yes!  Olives.  Green, Black, Greek, Spanish, all kinds.  Love them.

I like black and green olives in green salads, pasta salads, and on pizza. I don't eat them by themselves as a snack.  I've never had any fancy olives - just the regular grocery store varieties. My grocery has an olive bar, but I haven't tried any of those.

YES! How can you not LOVE olives. I love the olive bar at Fresh Market. So many delish varieties with the different oils they are in with olives stuffed w garlic, blue cheese, etc... I could stay there and eat half my weight in them.

No olives for me.  I hate it when they put olives in my salad and I have to pick them out.

@chrystaltree That's how I feel about beets!

Roasted beets are so good aren't they @Bri36? I love them. I am really into roasting veggies in the oven, it just gives them so much more flavor than boiling. I know so many people who really thought they hated beets (or any other veg). They grew up eating those jarred beets with high fructose corn syrup and hated them. Most didn't even want to take a tiny bite and eat the roasted beets but once they did, they loved them. I have converted so many people who thought they hated a certain veggie just by making them taste roasted ones. There are some veggies I still boil but not often, it just makes most so bland. I just scrub them, dry them, lightly coat them with olive oil salt and pepper, wrap in foil and bake. Mmmm, getting hungry.

I like olives, always have. They're healthy, too.

I love olives of any color. Green olives have always been my favorite, but there are certain times (like on pizza or in Greek salads) where I prefer black olives. I especially love those olive bars in large supermarkets where you can try and buy different types of olives. We usually have olives, baby kosher dill pickles, and pickled baby beets on our table every evening. They just add a little zip to your dinner.
