No. I still hate olives — and I hate myself more for trying again each time and expecting different results."

"Kombucha absolutely DOES taste like vinegar, coming from someone who loves it. Other kombucha enjoyers will try to deny the vinegar taste, but I embrace it because I bloody love vinegar. I even have 'sipping vinegars' in my fridge in various flavors, to add to co*cktails or to pour a shot glass of and sip on… just pure vinegar. It's very strange of me, and I totally understand why other people would not like that flavor."

"If you ever give it a try again, I highly recommend taking your favorite fruit smashing it up into a chunky paste, and mixing it in. While not my favorite fruit, I love using bananas because they are cheap, easy to smash up and add a nice complex sweetness instead of adding something like brown sugar. I have been meaning to try it with peaches but I always eat all my peaches before I get a chance."

"I hated them all my life after having childhood trauma of them boiled to death then put on my plate. However, now I'm in my 50s and love cooking, I've given them another go. I like them roasted with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, they blacken on the outside and caramelize on the inside. I can also roast it with other chunky veggies or bacon too. I'm converted.

But not ever boiled yuck!"
