...to think the green pepper is a waste of time?

I eat the yellow one in salads. Yum.

Mr. Red is delicious in stir fry or chicken pasta.

The stupid green one sits in my fridge going mouldy and making me feel guilty.

Why do you buy it if you don't like it?

Fraggled · 31/05/2016 19:12

YABVU. It is essential in a vegetable curry and lovely on a spicy pizza!

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 31/05/2016 19:12

I won't buy green peppers because it's likely to be left.

HappyHeart87 · 31/05/2016 19:12

Oh, I get the three pack because every time I think it represents good value. And every time I am wrong.

There is a use for it but I cant think what!

In curries?

BendydickCuminsnatch · 31/05/2016 19:13

Green pepper is almost the only veg I don't like. It's a bitter fucker. Bleugh.

QuiteLikely5 · 31/05/2016 19:13

Put it in the stir fry or better still make fajitas using all three peppers

BigApple11 · 31/05/2016 19:13

Yuk

Growingbeanno2 · 31/05/2016 19:13

I hunt for the three pack that is red, yellow and orange! Feel very victorious when I find one! #hadalifebeforebabies

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 31/05/2016 19:14

I always get the three packs, Dh likes the green one in a salad.,

DownstairsMixUp · 31/05/2016 19:14

They are ok in fajitas but i do prefer the red and yellow

lovemakespeace · 31/05/2016 19:14

The green one is bearable roasted.

suze28 · 31/05/2016 19:15

They are just wrong and I hate them. Too bitter to cook with or eat.

HoggleHoggle · 31/05/2016 19:15

Green is my favourite one!

Grilledaubergines · 31/05/2016 19:16

Roast them. They lose their bitteryness and very nice indeed.

StickTheDMWhereTheSunDontShine · 31/05/2016 19:16

I like them, but I used one in a chilli, last week and the damned ungrateful child I made it for complained that it wasn't red enough.

Pinkheart5915 · 31/05/2016 19:16

I would eat the green ones in salad too bitter but Mr green pepper belongs in chilli, curry & on pizza.

My ds will eat green pepper chopped up, weird baby!

SpaceUnicorn · 31/05/2016 19:16

I love green pepper, cooked or raw.

user1456843986 · 31/05/2016 19:16

Green is also the least nutritious. They are all the same pepper just picked at different times!

coco1810 · 31/05/2016 19:17

YANBU most pointless veg ever!

londonrach · 31/05/2016 19:17

They have different uses, flavours..... (Im a pointed red pepper buyer only)

Moomintroll85 · 31/05/2016 19:18

DS picks out microscopic pieces of them from his tea and whines in disgust. He'll eat pretty much anything else!

All peppers are evil... End of!

pigsDOfly · 31/05/2016 19:18

I use the green ones in stir fry and I buy the red pointy peppers.

I don't buy the three packs, I fine the yellow ones insipid and the red ones in the three packs always seem to have a slightly odd smell about them as if they're on the point of going off.

MumOnACornishFarm · 31/05/2016 19:19

Uuurgh green pepper is the worst. I feel sorry for green pepper. He could be so delicious and sweet and amazing if only he was left on the plant Sad I grow peppers and wouldn't dream of picking until it's at least orange.
