Olives. I could never really figure out why people decided that these would make good eats. Olive oil I've grown to love, but olives are still pretty disgusting for me. Every once in a while I go to a restaurant that serves pitted olives, I give it a taste and am reminded of why I don't like them... that strange brininess. Maybe if I was born a Greek...
Oddly enough, I enjoy a good deal of other pungent tastes, such as thousand year egg... I've scared away many friends with that food. |
