I like all of these except capers. I eat olives and pickles regularly.

I like them all haha.
Pickles might be my favorite though.
Doritos
Ranch, Nacho?
marinated garlic cloves, olives stuffed with almonds, mini peppers with cream cheese
also, capers and cornichons have no business being food.
- In a martini
- Off of fingertips (though my fingers are big enough that I just have to eat them out of the can)
Jalapeños. I like them on everything from nachos to burgers, but I vastly prefer fresh to pickled.
Sauerkraut. Only on a Reuben.
jfc people!
Castelvetrano olives > everything on that list
Sweet gherkin, I guess?
I'm not exactly sure what the category is
In order: 8 (sans sauerkraut & pickled veggies), 1, 7, 3, 5, 4, 6, 2.
Can’t forget the pickled okra!
Chupadedos olives
Pickles will never voluntarily touch my plate, and when they do I push my plate to the nearest pickle person so I don’t have to remove it myself and get contaminated with the vinegar.
Sun dried tomatoes and the occasional kalamata olive I can tolerate. Artichoke hearts and roasted bell peppers are awesome.
I love pickles, Kalamata olives, kimchi, and artichoke hearts. I'd say I like everything else, although I've had some bad green olives and am not crazy about capers.
Dry, salty, black olives. Best paired with a light beer and a blazing-hot summer day.
Pickled jalapenos are just fantastic. Hot, sour, flavorful, and just versatile at 'waking up' all kinds of food.
Capers are great on all kinds of savory dishes where you want a little salt and sourness, but other pickles would just be overkill.
Canned black olives belong on pizza, and the occasional loaded nacho plate. They're kind of awful in other applications.
As for the classic dill pickle, ever had one in Dr. Pepper?

A nice artichoke heart in oil hits a spot nothing else does, but the versatility of the black olive is hard to beat.
Sundrieds can also be really good, but you have to know how to use them.
Jarred red peppers are underrated as a replacement in basically any other place you'd put a red pepper.
Lots of caper haters in the world. Sad!

All of you in this thread are fucking psychopaths
Kalamata olives and similar little food objects are fine, they are often delicious
Eating the rest of these unflavorful little saltpellets on purpose is a ridiculous thing though
