I love to have big black olives on the side with a peanut butter sandwich!  I even like the great big canned ones this way!

I love olives.  They are one of my favorite snacks especially Greek and French olives.  

 

Not a fan of olives stuffed with garlic or anchovies etc.   Also, don't like those California black olives.  They taste dirty to me.  But, bring on most of the rest.

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

 Yea for me! Love most any kind. I especially like green pimento stuffed ones in my chili!

I like them except they are too high in sodium.  So, I eat fresh avocados instead. My husband loves them on top of his salads.


I have avocado almost every day.  For me, there's nothing better than a perfect, ripe avocado.  Every couple of moths I give in to my garlic olive cravings.

Everyone in my family has always been nuts for black olives.  My perfect birthday dinner when I was a child was cold fried chicken, potato salad, and black olives, usually on a picnic since it was in June. 

 

If I felt like binging on something, I'd probably eat most of a can of olives.

Forgot to add: When I place my order at Olive Garden, I request extra olives in the salad.  The tip is contingent on the servers generosity.

I love black olives, green not as much. I only started eating them in the past 10 years and on salads only. I also started eating sweet peppers and green peppers, just in the last 5 years. I dont like hot peppers though. I guess in my older years Im getting a taste for new foods lol.
