Found the reptilian
These are all things I hated biting into on burgers and pizza so they have a very mild traumatization to them ruining them forever
Canned black olives are my favorite, followed by the pickle chips, and then regular pickles, which I'm not sure if funny-name-I've-never-seen-before is or if those are the weird sweet ones.
Flavor Blasted Goldfish
All of you in this thread are fucking psychopaths
Kalamata olives and similar little food objects are fine, they are often delicious
Eating the rest of these unflavorful little saltpellets on purpose is a ridiculous thing though
Doritos
Ranch, Nacho?
- In a martini
- Off of fingertips (though my fingers are big enough that I just have to eat them out of the can)
Jalapeños. I like them on everything from nachos to burgers, but I vastly prefer fresh to pickled.
Sauerkraut. Only on a Reuben.
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.
I was with you until you disparaged against capers
Same. Capers are amazing. Still upvoted them though haha
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.
That day has not yet come.
Cornichons aren't sweet, though. (Different kind of brine.)
I guess it’s pretty American to add a bunch of sugar to something lol
Yeah, I love sweet gherkins, and when there is an unlabeled dish of cornichons I get very upset at the surprise sour/bitter/black pepper flavors. Give me that DelMonte high fructose corn syrup sweet pickle!

Pickled asparagus and pepperoncinis.
I love all of these, but if I could only ever live with one it would be capers.
Pickles a close second. My FIL has an amazing recipe for tuna salad: three ripe avocado, three tins of tuna drained and pressed for minimum moisture, three teaspoon mayo and six small pickles finely chopped. (3 tsp mayo is about 1tbsp, but i wrote it like that so you can adjust to size needed 1:1:1:2)
Now I want to share a great caper recipe. This one is definitely greater than the sum of its parts and I didn't think I liked sardines prior to this:
I use the oil from the sardines to make up part of the required olive oil

4,5,6 & 8. Olives in a salad, pickles on a sandwich and artichoke on a pizza
I much prefer lacto-fermented foods over vinegar-pickled.
Peppers, both sweet and hot? Love 'em, especially fire roasted. Sun dried tomatoes? Hell yeah, great to cook with.
Soak something in vinegar though? Yeah, nah, I'm all set, thank you very much.
I just did a batch of lactofermented cherry tomatoes, and the one out of four jars that didn’t get moldy just tastes a bit salty, not really fermented. Not sure what I did wrong.
In order: 8 (sans sauerkraut & pickled veggies), 1, 7, 3, 5, 4, 6, 2.
I'm a fan of so many pickled and fermented things. It'd be a long list to answer.
I like them all haha.
Pickles might be my favorite though.
4 and 5. I really dislike pickles. It's strange because they're both vegetables in pickled water
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?
Or green olives in an extra dirty martini?
