The squishy bit inside? Are you eating ripe or green olives? Because the green olives are usually filled with pimento (if you're lucky) or some unidentified paste that is said to be pimento. Is that what you're referring to?
Either way, I'll gladly take them off your hands.

They're repeating on you.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Now I have to try a kimchi and pickled herring sandwich.

I think it was green... not sure... been a few months since I had one - to try. Maybe not squishy...but a juicy semi-solid kind of texture. But a very very strong taste, pretty much sure is in the liquid. Kind of what I'd imagine motor oil to taste like 
You're more than welcome to them

And so it begins . . . 
It's funny, but many of my favorite foods as an adult are things I either genuinely hated as a kid or was convinced I would hate, if I were to try them. I was a picky pain in the ass to feed until my taste buds matured. Now I'll eat just about anything.

I'll admit I didn't look at the list in too much detail, just trying to see if any of the names rang a bell as to who I'd seen. When I get the chance I'll try to educate myself a bit more, do you have any suggestions on good resources?
I hope you didn't think I was taking it personally, just looked at what you had put up and had a few hours before going to a match earlier on, so did a slight bit of digging.

Tbh I'd like to acquire the taste as well... that's why I was trying it in the first place. But I couldn't get used to it no matter how many times I tried. But then again my palate is very 'immature' - I haven't acquired the taste of beer or wine either.

Those are the big name filmmakers of this generation: sellouts and semi-compitant lackeys making "commercial products" drafted out and approved by a boardroom of corporate executives.
And don't forget the 9/11 truthers (or as I like to call them the 11/9 truthers). Essential component of the modern day writing team.

The only thing in the world worse than olives is mushrooms. The devil's food I tells ya.
