I've tried and tried and tried, but I can't seem to like them. It's frustrating. My taste buds are just like nah.

Pickles cut the richness of olives and cleanses your palette. I think it makes sense

What kind of olives are you eating? Olives are like cheese in that there is a range. You have mild Cerignola olives and some rather funky Sicilian (or green) olives. You also need to consider how the olives are cured (oil, salt, water, dry, etc.). I recommend starting with oil cured .

Most olives you find in the super market are pretty funky. If you find yourself at an olive bar try a few different olives. The problem isn't your taste buds, its how you were introduced to olives.

Dully noted. Just never a pairing I've experienced, French family members have always paired olives with a variety of cheeses. Curious now about olive/pickle pairings...

Never liked olives until my mom brought home a jar of these one day. Ate the whole jar, then she never bought them again and I don't like olives anymore :(

Ew. Olives are gross.
And I'm not a picky eater by any means.

using vinegar to cut fatty things isn't new. I agree it is pretty odd, but it does work. I would probably opt for pickled pear or some other firm fruit.

You're entirely correct about the vinegar. I met a southern barbecue chef once who explained he kept 40+ vinegar varieties in his kitchens to help cut, layer, and intensify his flavors. I can't remember all the details very well, my culinary knowledge is also not as deep as I wish. Fruit is always excellent, personally I'm just a sucker for intense flavors.

I cannot eat these for the life of me - they are literally the only food I've ever gagged on. I have no idea what it is or why but I just cannot stomach them. One time at work for family meal chef made a pizza and threw on kalamata olives on it. I tried eating, nope. So I picked the olives off like a 4 year old. I still couldn't eat. It pissed me off so bad hahaha - so yep. No kalamata olives for me.

I hated them for so long but now I love them. I think they're just a food you have to grow into. Black olives are the best!
