    From that list, kalamata olives. But have you tried garlic cloves in herb oil? So good!

    Artichoke hearts. Straight from the jar with a fork. Yum.

    Pimento olives, chopped fine and mashed into cream cheese, spread on pumpernickel (bread, bagel, etc).

    Capers can fuck off entirely.

    You just made a list of many of the things I truly hate, food wise, lol. I guess sun-dried tomatoes are okay? 😅

      I’m the exact opposite. Sun-dried tomatoes taste stale and plasticky to me. Everything else on the list is fantastico. Where would we be without capers in tartare sauce, or black olives on pizza?

        We’d have pizza people actually wanted to eat!

        Don’t get me wrong, if you want to keep more pizza for yourself, then olives are a great deterrent and that’s a legit strategy.

        If you want to do a real case study, get only two pizzas and put olives on one, pineapple on the other, and just watch.

        Have you ever had homegrown sundried cherry tomatoes? I think there’s a huge difference in flavor between good and bad tomatoes

    Pickles are my favorite, especially dill spears. I’ve also enjoyed capers on top of grilled salmon with (I think) a beurre blanc sauce. Kalamata olives on pizza is really good too.

    Round here we call cornichons “sweet gherkins” and they’re pretty good

    Also: At one point you put black olives on your fingertips for the last time and you didn’t know it.

    Pickles are definitely my favorite on that list. My favorite is probably zesty bread and butter, but I also love dill. Black olives are alright. Most pickled veg are pretty good. Pickled jalapenos are good, but I much prefer fresh ones.

    I casually snack on cornichons straight out of the jar, or else with ham and camembert on a French baguette. In that case I’ll slice them lengthwise just so they don’t roll off.

    I make my own kimchi, sauerkraut, and various Chinese fermented vegetables.

    I make what I call a “dirty margarita.” Jalapeño stuffed olives are a must.

    In a salad, kalamata or dried black olives.
