No shit, I agree. I know people who get heart burn from green peppers.

Pepperoni, bacon, mushrooms, green peppers, extra sauce, and the Cajun Crust. Also, I will be putting this shit on it:

Don't forget the sulfuric acid, Mich.

It's mostly just sour water, kind of like Frank's Hot Sauce.

When asked how hot I want my food, I say "medium". I'm between "don't dare the chef" and "total fucking wimp". Quite apart from heat though, I fucking can't stand green peppers and don't get how other people can. The smell and taste of green peppers makes me wanna hurl.

I've never been one for hot sauce. I've just never gotten the enjoyment of it.

I used to hate green peppers myself for a long time. It's pretty pungent smell those things give off. Then I discovered that if had a piece of pizza that had green peppers on it, and I took the green peppers off, it tasted better than if it never had any green peppers on it at all. Clearly it added something to the pizza that I liked, so I started eating it with the peppers, and I found I really liked it.

I was a really picky eater as a kid and there are a lot of things I used to hate that I've since discovered I like.

Green peppers
Broccoli
Lima beans
Cabbage
Chiles
Soy Sauce
Green onions
Fresh spinach
Raw onions
Horseradish

There is still a gang of stuff I can't eat though:
Fresh tomatoes
Olives
Cauliflower
Cooked spinach
Radishes
Cucumber
Cooked onions

Basically any vegetable that seems slimy to me does not get eaten. I love most things you make with tomatoes, but not fresh tomatoes by themselves. And I just have no idea how to deal with olives at all. It's a salty, bitter, oily FRUIT. There's just something unholy about that.

EDIT: If you don't understand hot & spicy stuff, try going out and getting some spicy Chinese food and a bottle of wine. Eat a little spicy food, drink some wine to put out the fire. Repeat until it feels like every part of you, from the top of your head to the tips of your toes, has gone completely electric. I don't know how else to describe it, but if you could bottle that feeling and sell it, you'd be the richest person in the world. Food should not just be something you do with your mouth. It should entertain your whole body.

P.S. don't touch your junk afterward. Little advice from your uncle Mich.

My gf doesnt like mild sauce from Taco Bell. I on the other hand, like jabenero sauce and jabenero peppers on my pizza.

I like spicy. I can't do any of the extreme shit, but I like jalapenos, hot (not mild or medium, but not fireball insano stuff) wings, hot salsa, etc.

I also will enjoy the casual regular BBQ. I'm really a fan of all foods, and unfortunately, that means it's only a matter of time before I'm a fatass...

I like to go to Szechuan Empire restaurant in Livonia, and order their Kung Pao chicken. It's really good and they just throw entire chili peppers in there so that if you didn't get it hot enough to suit you, you can just chew on a chili pepper to compensate.
