I don't hate them but I'd rather buy something good instead of boring olives

>>8786742
You know, it's perfecly ok for person to have their own taste and like/dislike certain products, but being like "mwaah olives are so gross n nasty uuu i hate them bc they are shit" is a pleb thing.

>>8786741
This is entirely what you subsist on, isn't it?

>>8786742
In what world are olives boring?

If someone's only eaten Canned Black(tm) "Olives" then it's pretty understandable to dislike them.

>>8786237
Fuck this remembers I have olives in oil my grandma sent me, gonna have some.

One of my pet peeves is when people talk about going to a restaurant and comment about how something they ate was delicious depite "usually hating it", and then they still approach the food with the same disdain later on

This. People who turn their nose up at bone marrow disgust me. It's fucking meat butter, basically. It's amazing, not only on it's own, but as a fatty component in other dishes.
The reason I bring it up, is that one of my oldest friends was visiting me, and we went out to one for my favorite local restaurants, where they know me. As we looked at the menu, I said we should order the bone marrow (because they do it really well there), and my friend said "What?!" And I said "Have you tried bone marrow?" and he wrinkled up his forehead and said loudly "EWWW, NO!" and acted like I was disgusting for even suggesting it. I damn near just got up and left. Luckily, he hasn't been back to visit again. I'm happy keeping our friendship long distance.

>>8788057
This is because with some foods quality and or preparation really matter. Something like eggplant is really easy to fuck up if you don't know what you're doing with it. And with something like white wine there's a world of difference between good and poor quality examples. A good restaurant will have more skill in the kitchen and access to better ingredients than the average home.

>>8788069
the texture is kinda nasty and tbch eating it on its own isn't even that great

makes a wonderful addition to soups and stews though

>>8788071
>Something like eggplant is really easy to fuck up if you don't know what you're doing with it.
really and truly? i've never tried preparing it myself but every time i've had it, no matter how it was prepared, i've loved it

>>8788080
I thought I hated it when I was a kid because my mother didn't like it, didn't know how to cook it and my first experiences with it were subpar eggplant parm. When I got older and tried it done well I realized I wasn't a fan of subpar eggplant parm. Tripe is another example. Done right it's delicious, but done poorly it's fucking disgusting.

>>8788069
>my old friend thinks something I eat is grody so I'm almost-not-friends with them anymore
I wouldn't want to be friends with you, either.

>>8788104
not him but
>my old friend is a reactionary child who screams at food he's never tried before and refuses to try it
yeah no it's not fun hanging around literal children, especially picky ones

>>8788101
well eggplant parm sounds disgusting in general

i've only ever had it baked or fried before

>>8788104
I never said we weren't still friends, dumbass. Only that I'm happy I don't have to put up with his child-like behavior in public, and don't want to again. Picky eaters disgust me anyway, I don't care if they're my friends or not, I don't want to be around adults who act like spoiled children when faced with something they've never tried before.

>>8788135
>loudly went "EWWWW NO"
>other anon can't understand why that's embarrassing as fuck out in public
don't worry man i don't judge you for not wanting to associate with that embarrassment

>>8788136
except oysters taste like shit, especially on their own

if you have to disguise how bad it takes with lemon and tabasco, there's no fucking point

just drink dirty seawater, it's the exact same thing

>>8788145
you're wrong.

>>8788147
i'm literally not

>>8788136
>only cost a dollar under most circumstances, ie 'buck a shuck'
>grow by eating the gross, dead, nasty shit that floats down to the sea floor

oh yeah but oysters are for the high class lmfao

>>8788145
I would not go that far, but indeed there are not very tasty. It's a very average meal, but the point is that only plebs hate them.

>>8788149
not really
there are plenty of other "fancy" seafoods you can eat that are actually hard to catch and actually taste good
if you're going to be eating something that eats ocean floor crud, go for crustaceans

>>8788148
It's not only about the raw taste of it, but the way you eat it

>>8788155
You are right

>>8788160
i will admit that deep fried oysters are actually pretty tight though

but people who act like shucking oysters is the hottest shit ever are just delusional

>>8786237
cheap brined olives can actually be pretty nasty. good olives though, they're the shit

>>8788187
what is it
looks like tobacco leaves

>>8788136
an acquired taste I guess. had them once in paris when i was visiting and they were pretty meh at best. they also gave me the worst shits of my life. had to spend the next day on the lookout for toilets around the city because we'd had to check out of the hotel and i had to take the train back home in the afternooon

>>8788333
You're absolutely right, anon. You've inspired me make my own kefir. Thank you for showing me the error of my ways.

>>8788069
You're right that it's like meat butter. It's like semi-solid meat butter and most people don't enjoy the texture of semi-solid butter

>>8788189
So much this
For the longest time I thought olives were just salty sweat grapes until I tried some actual ones at a cocktail party

>>8788213
fish? what sort do you have? mine tastes like english pipe tobacco blends smell, of latakia. (horseshit and smoke for some, amazing for others)
pu erh is heaven in tea firm, though.

Why are you not getting pu er in china when it gets moldy during transport to foreign countries

>>8788311
This stuff is great. Though, first time I bought/consumed it, I got thick, black, liquid shits for 3 days straight.

>>8789561
You should see the fuckers on true life that were allergic to basically everything and one dude had to live off of a formula to get everything he needed and had to trial basic foods like cooked carrots and green cabbage in the hospital so he wouldn't die accidentally.

The chick kissed a dude who drank a beer and had an anaphylaxic shock at a party.

Fungus is one of the only things that unsettles me. It used to be just a texture thing when I was young and could have easily gotten over it, but the more I see/learn about fungus the more it unnerves me.

Over 75% of British ones have norovirus, which my wife found out after a michellin star chef paired some with a gueuze for a beer matching evening but I can confirm that Colonsay oysters are clean and safe unlike those dirty Welsh rock oysters

>>8789668

What the hell is 'chippu'?

>>8792430
I really like eel, but it definitely has a distinct taste and texture from most other fish.

>>8792883
poteto chippu is what weebs call crisps and lards call chips.

>Plebs think goat cheese is weird
>But they eat feta cheese

>>8792430
Eel is like the closest a fish can get to being real meat. It's delicious, but I can understand people not liking eel if their only experience with it was British "cuisine"

>>8789826
Yea, most fungi are shit, literally the lowest and most disgusting type of life-form.

Though you gotta agree Chan-pignon is a cute mushy.

Plebs just can't enjoy the blessing that is the void of the afterlife.

I mean they aren't boring, but they are far more exciting vegetables. Squash, carrots, even avocados are less drab.

>>8789826
>not liking fungus for helping plants grow

I don't like olives. I am naturally repulsed by them. I don't like being repulsed by something that people eat and enjoy every day, so I've tried to change my behavior, but I can't.

Can somebody explain why people think that olives are so good?

>>8786237
what the fuck do i do with them??

they're sitting in a jar in the fridge with some pickels next to it.

olive recopies?

Cyanobacteria

>They don't eat cyanobacteria

What's your excuse?

In the US?

Cheese that isn't American or cheddar.
Sushi that isn't a California roll.
Offal.
Fermented plant matter that isn't a pickle.
Tomatoes.
Cilantro.
Most types of seafood or fish

It goes on and on.

>>8794398

I don't know, it might be the flavor combination. Olives are basically a combination of savory and bitter, which I'm pretty into.

I really don't like grapefruit because it mixes bitter and sweet. Then again, I don't like sweet food that much to begin with.

Dolmas

I can’t believe no one has said fucking onions yet. I don't understand how you could possibly have anything against onions when it's in every goddamn dish

Chiggin sashimi

Username checks out :'-)

Seriously though. Slow cooked oxtail is beautiful. The collagen and gelatin you get give you the most beefy flavours there are to be had on the cow.

>>8786237

>>8789753
weird, in my country people like mushrooms and everyone goes mushroom picking (or however it's called in english).

In fact people who like mushrooms would be the plebs in this case

>>8795918
>Slow cooked oxtail is beautiful.
Yes.

>The collagen and gelatin you get give you the most beefy flavours there are to be had on the cow.
No. Collagen and Gelatin are pretty much flavorless. They contribute texture, not flavor. The flavor comes from the meat and the bone.

>>8788136
I don't mind raw oysters and a bit of lemon, but oysters kilpatrick taste a lot better IMO.

>>8796099
I've only ever used ox tail to make stock. How would you prepare it as a meal on its own?

>>8786742
>can be stuffed with other food for different combined flavors while being unique and delicious on their own as well
>boring

>>8786237
raw red onion, absolutely delicious

>>8786237
Strong odour, but fucking delicious I tell you.

>>8796268

Calvestrano olives marinated in oil & chili flakes
Fucking God tier

>>8796099
Yeah, I know, but the mouthfeel and texture does influence our perception of flavour. I'll say that your point stands though

>>8796899
>mouthfeel

>>8796268
i wish I could get past the smell, because it tastes fucking amazing.
A thai place I frequent does a really good durian ice cream, you can still smell it a bit, but it's not too strong.

>>8794703
as if anyone disliked dolmas

>>8792865
i love you.
