Funny back story. My girl will try about anything and has a pretty sophisticated palette for a 9yo..kid loves grapes…but when she first saw black olives, she was like Grapes! and proceeded to mash a few into her mouth.. I will let you surmise the immediate reaction when she found out the difference…
Fwiw it took a long while and many martinis before I acquired a penchant for olives. But i do have it now and the wife does too..

like i say to the other nose turner-up-ers… I eat for me and you eat for you. I find that works well for everyone. If u wanna get Fear Factor and eat a bin of Malaysian Cockroach nuts then go do you… I will not be joining in on that buffet. Lolz
