Oh, gosh, maybe because they stink and leak their stinky juice all over everything?
But they're SO GOOD!!! Despite your crazy-person crazy talk. And I am unafraid of your flame retardant abilities. I can just throw torches over your head at Nutty.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
"olive salad," a chopped mixture of green, unstuffed olives,
You had me until olives.
Then, I threw up and died.
This post brough to you by the undead.

So you were cool with the olive salad until you discovered it had ACTUAL OLIVES?

No way! You can have my tomatoes, though.
I'll take your tomatoes, Kate. You wouldn't want to give something so tasty to a crazy olive-hater....

I didn't used to be into tomatoes for a while. Now, I welcome their juicy pinkness in my sandwiches.

I love olives, but the olive salad on muffeletta sandwiches leaves me cold. Or coughing nasty bits of olive salad into a napkin. Maybe it's the vinegar?

I want the tomatoes, the olives, and the radishes! Omnivore am I! (except for lamb most of the time. And, as I discovered recently, sea urchin)

Also, thppppppt!
Um... perhaps this is getting a little nattery?

The status is NOT quo.
I love olives and will serve them at my F2F this summer.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I like olive oil just fine, but olives themselves -- ick. The taste is all wrong, and I aint a fan of the texture neither.
I say this as someone who likes brined artichoke hearts, pickles, and even assorted "wait, you don't pickle that!" pickled things (twist my arm and I will admit I don't actively dislike pickled beets; I just don't see a reason why a perfectly good beet deserves pickling). Also you know what? "Pickle" is just a fun word.
In my childhood, it was generally acknowledged that olive loaf is the most disgusting thing in the world. Did that law get revoked when I wasn't looking? How is olive salad different, except inasmuch as it is not loafy?
So, without the olive hoo-ha, a muffaletta is basically an Italian cold cut sandwich on steroids?
