Neither of us like green bells but like the other colors. BTW green aren’t ripe.

Since these poor defenseless veggies cannot speak, I’ll stand up for them. There’s more vitamin C in each pepper than in 3-4 oranges. When stuffed, bell peppers taste great, and they look damn fine on a paella. Italian antipasti platters are just that much better with pepper on them as well.
(Don’t ever ask me to go to such lengths to defend celery, though.)

Just green or all colors?
All colors.

I’ve seen purple ones so dark that they were dang near black. But not.
I’m so really surprised by that. I LOATHE green bell peppers. To the point of picking them out of any dish that has them. We call them “lurkers.” But love the ripe peppers.

+1. can’t stand bell peppers (even stuffed—sorry JL). Yes, they add color to things but ruin the flavor. they are somewhat tolerable marinated in olive oil, but only barely.

I think they have an innate sour bitterness that I just don’t like.

I’ve never had a Filet o’ Fish sandwich.
Today I consumed a pot and a half of strong coffee, half a box of leftover vegetable Mu Shu straight from the fridge, a thing of Primal Vegan jerky, much water, and am now eating stale carrot cake. Yes, the animals in the house eat much better than me.

[/quote]Yep, I used to think they were useless health wise. But when I learned about all the great things in a pepper it made me like them more.
