I think I'm the only person alive who enjoys the sour little ZING inherent in a pimento'd green olive or six in my Caucasian taco. People see me stuffing my shell and they give me dirty looks, but it's the perfect little exclamation point on a meaty, cheesy, tomato and onion taco. Black olives are boss, too, but I dunno, dudes.

 

[Meicyn]

Ewww, no.

I do even weirder shit though, I use cabbage instead of lettuce.

[MrA]

No as long as you don't put them in my tacos, why should I care

 

[funkygunther]

Kinda depends what else is in it. If you've got meat, cheese, tomato and onion then olive isn't going to upset that. Taco is just a sandwich so it's up to whether you like the individual fillings (toppings) more than it being anything to do with it being a taco.

 

[Jennings]

I don't like green olives, so no I don't put green olives in my tacos. If I liked them I might put them in, but I have no idea how well they'd go with tacos since I don't like them. I like black olives though and put those in my tacos.

 

[KrakenIPA]

I can't imagine a flavor profile in a taco that is improved or built upon green olives. Maaaaybe a Mediterranean taco, but I've never heard of something like that.

Edit: green olives with pimento is a strong, loud product, i would stick with the traditional diced black olive for a Mexican dish.

 

[GymWolf]

I don't eat tacos but i put black olives almost everywhere (when i'm not cutting)

 

[bender]

I grew up on TexMex so no. I first ran into olives in Mexican food in New Mexico. Therefor Texas > New Mexico. It's simple math.

 

[Ailynn]

I haven't yet, but it sounds delicious to me!

I haven't yet, but it sounds delicious to me!

Didn't realise my fridge-cam was hacked.

I like green olives, don't put em' on tacos but the idea doesn't offend me either.

I have never wanted to smack the absolute crap out of a gaffer more than I do right now

 

[Rival]

Green olives are disgusting. I honestly almost gag looking at them.

 

[Punished Miku]

I've never even tried a green olive but I know I hate them.

Tacos on the other hand are sacred.

 

[Torrent of Pork]

I like the to give them a spin in the food processor to turn it into olive relish.

 

[belmarduk]

I haven't tried that before but I'm intrigued. I love green olives.

 

[AJUMP23]

I put olives on nothing. No olives ever.

 

[Azzurri]

On Pizza , yes

 

[teezzy]

No, but I'd try it. Whatever

Pineapple and chicken are my favorite pizza toppings so I'm a freak anyhow

 

[Yamisan]

Once a green olive is on it its not a taco anymore.

 

[Badlucktroll]

I want to try escamole (fried ant larva) tacos.

Escamoles: Caviar of the Desert

The eggs of "the farty ant" have long been a Mexican delicacy.

[haxan7]

i'll throw some green olives on my pizza if i don't have anything else for toppings

 

[CrankyJay™]

No, because I get my zing from pickled jalapeños or homemade pickled red onions.

 

[F0rneus]

Uh...how about hell no? In no way shape or form.

 

[Catphish]

 

[Quasicat]

Green on pizza, black on tacos or nachos. I remember when the Taco Bell Mexican Pizza had black olives. That was amazing!

It's pre-Hispanic food in Mexico, those tacos are good.

Olives in Tacos? that's too weird.

 

[Days like these...]

Ewww, no.

I do even weirder shit though, I use cabbage instead of lettuce.

Cabbage is used in Tacos in Mexico wtf are you talking about?

 

[FoundryMusic]

No, you put green olives in the bin.

 

[Putonahappyface]

I haven't but I'd like to try it.

 

[Droxcy]

No.

But Black Olives on everything else

 

[DragoonWalker]

no, but now that you mention it I might give it a try.

 

[BouncyFrag]
