marinated garlic cloves, olives stuffed with almonds, mini peppers with cream cheese
also, capers and cornichons have no business being food.

In order: 8 (sans sauerkraut & pickled veggies), 1, 7, 3, 5, 4, 6, 2.
Doritos
Ranch, Nacho?
- 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.
Sweet gherkin, I guess?
I'm not exactly sure what the category is
jfc people!
Castelvetrano olives > everything on that list
Chupadedos olives
I like big-ass garlic stuffed green olives.

Castelventrano olives, pickled okra
i had olives stuffed with lemon rind recently and was hooked. Also enjoy olives stuffed with jalapeños.
I’ve only had it once but theres also pickled watermelon rind
I love katamala olives and pickles. Black olives are fine if I can't get katamala.
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.
-
Make margaritas and empanadas with the Spanish olives.
-
Make nachos with canned black olives, jalapeños and maybe add the artichoke hearts… maybe.
-
Make chicken piccata with the capers. Yummm! I love capers! 🥰
-
Snack on cornichons; put sliced pickles in a sandwich (DIY chik-fil-a sandwich)
-
Put sauerkraut over kielbasa.
The sun-dried tomatoes and I do not get along but thanks for asking. Please throw them out.
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.
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.
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?
Olives with beer taste just like toast! Fosters is the best for testing this theory.
162... Meh on the rest
Flavor Blasted Goldfish
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
Lots of caper haters in the world. Sad!
