My father is like that, always trying to argue against someone’s preference as if it will change. At one point I discovered he HATES the idea of flavored coffee, instead of just straight black, and I got to have a field day throwing the entire list of arguments right back at him in rapid succession.
- You don’t like…
- Have you tried it recently?
- This one really good, much better than other ones you’ve had before
- You should try it again
- It’s really good for you
- You know your tastes change as you get older
- Just try a little bit
- It’s not going to hurt you
- That doesn’t count, you barely tried it, take a bit more
Disappointment has no expiration date
What the hell man. You vaguely seemed to like it one time when you were 3. It’s like you think we don’t even pay attention.
Now go fuck your green m&ms like a good boy
My parents did this to me and when they couldn’t convince me I was wrong started trying to shame me for not liking what they like.
My wife did this with olive pesto. I’ve had very vocal disdain for olives our entire marriage, and she’s known me since we were kids. She couldn’t believe I didn’t like the pasta smothered in olive paste.
Wym with olive pesto? The only olive product pesto has is oil. It’s basically nuts, herbs, cheese and oil.
You don’t like olive oil? I wouldn’t have made the link that not liking olives -> not liking olive oil, the flavour profiles is very different.
Good God, found my wife’s account
Haha, but you didn’t respond the question and I’m curious. Is it the olive oil the thing you dislike?
I don’t know but I want the recipe. I’m picturing something like a tapenade……
There’s something similar in Spain called Olivada, which is pureed olives with oil and some spices, like a hummus but with olives. It’s great.
That looks excellent, thanks!
Fair, olives fucking rule
I’m 40 and my mom still likes to argue with me about whether or not I like chocolate
But, you do dislike chocolate
