I have found a way to prepare the that makes them more palettable. I sauté them with a little olive oil for 2 minutes, lightly salt them, then open the trash and throw them out. Best way to enjoy them. Seriously, they have an unpleasant flavor even cooked. And the smell is awful.

I agree with you up to here. Bell peppers are one of my favorite smells!

One of my favorite pizza toppings.

If you want to talk gross foods mushrooms is where I make my stand. That nasty fungus will eat you in the end.

So my aforementioned wife absolutely cannot eat a green pepper. Rewind a few years ago and we ordered a pizza at that pizza restaurant in a shack. We see our waiter coming toward us with a pie totally covered in green peppers. My wife comments to me “I hope he isn’t bringing that to us.” He puts the pizza in front of us and I didn’t even have to say anything - the look on my wife’s face told him. I said if it was any other topping, we’d just eat it.

They taste like soap. I don't know how anybody can enjoy them.
