I'm the same way about wintergreen!
Me too! Pepto Bysmol never helped me feel better - it would always make me worse. Shopping for tooth paste and mouth wash can be an ordeal trying to figure out what this year's code word for wintergreen is. One time at a health food store I was buying an all-natural tooth paste, and I had the owner of the store call the manufacturer to find out for sure what flavor it was. It was worth the effort, though, because it tastes good.
I like mint, cilantro, lemongrass and broccoli just fine. Not crazy about green peppers but have no particular objection to them, just don't like 'em as much as red and yellow (and orange, yum). Like gin, rum, Fernet, absinthe, and all varieties of bitters in moderation. Hate carrots, cooked or raw, except in carrot-ginger soup, hate black licorice, hate peas and most green beans, feel mostly indifferent to white wine, and cannot taste anything in Scotch but the burning, the terrible burning. And that's about it for my hateration. I may possibly be the opposite of a supertaster.
I wonder if my cat likes mint. Lately she's been trying to stick her nose in my mouth when I say goodbye to her and if I haven't just brushed my teeth I'm usually chewing gum when I'm leaving the house.
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.
California blend! I actually like all of those things but school lunches ruined the combination for all time.
I love all kinds of mint. And of broccoli. And I'm good with green peppers, but roasted red peppers are becoming the mango coulis of this decade. Seriously, enough already.
No to cilantro and all but minimal lemongrass.
When I was growing up I would only eat raw veggies, and even then it was mostly peas straight out of the freezer.
Someone here told me that the reason my cat freaks out over mint is that it and catnip are both in the same family.

I'm a little skeptical about that, just because the mint family incudes thousands of species, including most of the common herbs (mint, basil, oregano, marjoram, thyme, lavender, savory, rosemary, sage... all mints). So, if that were the reason, why just those two?
I feel like baking. What should I bake, bread or cupcakes? The cupcakes are easier and faster and yum, but I'm trying to be healthy. The bread is actually also pretty good -- the recipe calls for some leftover cooked grains, and I usually use rice, since that's what I have around, and the rice I have now is rice I cooked with saffron, and that makes really good bread. But if I make cupcakes, then I can bring them into the office and be Vegan Propaganda Girl tomorrow.
It's too hard to decide. Make both.

It seems like the most logical explanation for why my cat tries to cram her head in my mouth after I brush my teeth.
