Texture & Taste

Peppers are one of the few things I’ve never liked. They have a strange smell and a bitter taste I notice instantly. I still pick them out of dishes without thinking — it’s a habit I’ve had since I was a kid.

Emotion

Peppers just have this… weird smell. Raw or cooked, it’s always there — that sharp, earthy scent I instantly recognize and instantly want to avoid. I don’t hate it passionately, but I also never enjoy it. Even now, I still get a little annoyed when I find it hiding in my food.

Texture & Taste

It’s not the texture that bothers me most — it’s the flavor.
There’s a bitterness that lingers in a way I don’t like, and even a tiny piece makes the whole dish taste like pepper.
If I’m in a really good mood, I might eat a small piece… but only maybe.

Memory

As a kid, I could tell if a dish had pepper just by the smell — no need to look.
My parents would try to sneak it into food “for the nutrition,” but I always found it and picked it out. To me, pepper is the one vegetable I grew up avoiding with confidence and skill.

How I eat with Apple

Most of the time, I’ll pick it out without hesitation. Sometimes, if I’m in a good mood and there’s just a little, I might leave it in. But I never choose it. It’s just… there. And I’m always hoping it’s not.

Peppers

aren’t welcome.

But they always sneak in — with that strange smell, bitter bite, and a presence I can’t ignore.
