You had me until olives.
So you were cool with the olive salad until you discovered it had ACTUAL OLIVES?
Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

F2F 2: Is there anybody here that hasn't slept together?
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: New Orleans! May 20-22, 2005!

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)

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

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?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Does this make the pimento the willie?
