    Are you just talking about the cheap green pomento olives in jars suspended in brine?

    Or does your aversion go through all of the greek/italian versions too?

    I slot those green olives in the same “I love!” place as pickles.

    Also, cant beat black olives on a pizza or Italian style (Italian sausage, meatball, cold cut) sub.

    Kalamata have such a hearty umami, when I crave a Greek Salad, 90% of that is craving the Kalamatas. Castelvetrano are so buttery yet refreshing. Picholine (especially with Pomento) are such a satisfying tart salty savory fix.

    I mean, if you don’t like em, you don’t like em and you can have that, but every flavor that I have ever disliked (Bananas, Brussels Sprouts, and Sushi are the big ones I remember for me) was just an invitation to “acquire the taste” and has become a flavor I savor.

    I still struggle with caviar, but even still, every once in a while I just get hit with the craving.

    Only food thing that I can think of that I haven’t tried in ages and I might still hate is black licorice.

    I should get some black licorice and acquire that taste…

    I mean, whenever I hear picky eating, especially pickiness about a savory food, I imagine a person who lives on hostess, mountain dew (any kind), fried foods, and formed meat pastes (Hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken nuggies).

    In general, the food that I was raised on, before I learned how to cook and eat a variety of foods.

    I absolutely die for Kalamata olives lightly dressed in olive oil and Italian spices.
