Bell peppers bitter?

actually... cooked peppers just are disgusting to me. none of us like them in my household... must be a genetic thing. I do make stuffed peppers since my husband likes them but never use green peppers for them. only colored bells or roumanian hots. If I have pizza I also pick them off or order without. blech. I have a friend who is allergic to bell peppers but not hot peppers. how odd is that?
