Green peppers are of the yum, but broccoli is bleh, at least the tops of it are. I don't mind the stem of the little tree thing, but the texture of the tops is gross. I also don't like cauliflower, so I often skip the veggie mixture at restaurants--they tend to give you a blend of carrots, broccoli, and cauliflower.
They should film that story and show it every Christmas.

Supertasters think cilantro tastes like soap. Poor bastards.
At least according to this article, dislike of cilantro and supertasting are unrelated. [link]

I like green peppers, but they tend to overpower whatever they are in, so I use them sparingly in cooking. Which is fine, because I can munch on the leftovers :)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I've never found that I need to go through all the hassles of elective office to not eat broccoli. I just say, "no, thanks, I don't want any broccoli."

“Not dead yet!”
Without cilantro, cumin, or green pepper, Cuban cooking just isn't right.
The only foods I have any real objection to are lemongrass (has to be used sparingly) and watermelon. Hate the texture, hate the non-taste.

I am not a fan of green peppers either, but I can deal with them if the food is tasty enough and I'm hungry.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
The other food I really can't eat is mint-flavored stuff. Fresh mint leaves are OK, if used sparingly, but I cannot stand mint candies or anything like that.

Because books.
Oh, I LOVE peppers of any color (bell peppers, not spicy ones) and I love broccoli, too! Carrots are my problem. Raw they're ... sort of edible, especially if shaved into thin curls, but cooked they make me really nauseous.
Oddly, I have no strong feelings about cilantro.

wheras I like cilantro. and broccoli. and green peppers (also red and yellow and orane sweet peppers too). Also like chili peppers. Very few foods I don't like. I don't like sea urchin. I don't like geoduck. Offhand I those are my only "noes" when it comes to food, though there is a larger number I don't want much of.

Cilantro is fine, if you can cook in the first place. But it's not for rookies.
