\"Olives\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Look at them. The lying toads.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

SO. I like to eat many different foods. The list of foods that I do like to eat is vast and varied. There are however, some foods that I don’t like to eat. This list, when laid out, can be a bit surprising considering the things that I am willing to eat and enjoy.<\/p>\n

Sensibly my main issue with nearly all of these foods is the taste. I don’t like the taste. This makes sense.<\/p>\n

The other issue I have with some of these foods is that they looks SO TASTY AND APPETISING. So tasty. And yet they are not.<\/p>\n

Basically, I don’t like food that looks like it should taste good.<\/p>\n

First up? Olives. Now, I like olive oil. Olive oil is great. It’s nice to cook with. It’s nice to dip bread into and eat. It’s nice to drizzle over my vegetables or fish.<\/p>\n

Olives though? EUGH. And yet? They look so good, round and shiny and perfect. Even the texture is good (and texture is important with food). I don’t even mind the smell.<\/p>\n

However, when I bite into one and the flavour spreads across my tongue? MASSIVE FAIL. And I want to like them so badly.<\/p>\n
