I used to eat them directly from the jar when I was a kid.

That's aquired taste. I dislike them too when I was a child.

Raw olives are bitter as fuck. They become edible only after brining.

I think they're asking why there aren't olives bred to be less bitter and immediately edible.

I love black olives. Not a fan of greens or ones with pimentos though.

So weird because I fucking love olives. What do they taste like to you? For me it feels orgasmic on my tongue, they're probably my favourite fruit.

they just taste like bitterness. i've tried them on pizza and pasta dishes to see if they can blend well with other things but still just don't like em

I really love olives, I can eat them from the jar, maybe I should move to a place with a lot of olives, like Greece or Turkey
