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

[HappyHeart87]

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.

[Justmeagain78]

I hear you. My green pepper is next to the other fridge regular - the half full tin of kidney beans. Who uses a whole tin of those buggers in their chilli?!!!

[Woodhill]

Thai curry but tbh no one likes them even the Guinea pig so I have to make an effort to use them

[987flowers]

Thankfully my guinea pigs do like them so that's where they go!!!

[Owllady]

The green ones get you moving if you are blocked up

[Racheyg]

I'm with you on this one op. I hate the green. Oh always gets lumped with it

[AvaLeStrange]

Yanbu, although they are ok diced in chilli or spag bol for a bit of colour, chunkier in curries & essential in jambalaya.

The ratio of how many peppers I get in the house to how often I cook those things leaves a bit to be desired mind you.

[LegoCaltrops]

Green are the best in curry, & indispensable in Greek salad.

[Grilledaubergines]

Will have to test this out

[CrowyMcCrowFace]

Pepper wasters, you are generally weird. Regardless of your colour preferences!

A half kilo a week, surely, if you cook for a family? I get through at least twice that.

[EveryoneElsie]

I've tried ripening the green peppers and turning them red but they just go wrinkly.
Grilledaubergines, I like the sexy pepper post, I'm going to try that.

[troubledsoul12]

I absolutely love green pepper raw ... Could eat the whole one x
For breakfast scrumble eggs on toast and stripes of green pepper with bit of a salt on it x yummy

[heavenlypink]

Grilledaubergine this must be true .... The pepper I used at the weekend was definitely more bitter than others of later, and I have often wondered why sometimes there are loads more seeds too.

NOOOOOOO, don't fall for the bell pepper/gender hoax! It's Facebook bullshit.

I like the yellow ones least. I use green in a lovely pasta and tomato sauce dish with red pepper and if I only have yellow instead of green, it really doesn't taste right. I think it balances out the red's sweetness.

[CathemeralChild]

We love green peppers here!
Chop them into very large chunks, then fry them hot and quick in olive oil until they start to blister. Sprinkle with fleur de sel and chilli flakes, cover, and turn the heat right down. Cook slowly until soft. A poor man's version of Pedron peppers.
Perfect with Ribeiro and crusty white bread to mop the sweet sticky juice up. A few slices of manchego cheese and a tomato salad with olives and it's a fantastic dinner!

Green pepper is for meatloaf. That is all.

[jo2107]

Great for curries or on pizza :-)

[SugarMiceInTheRain]

I only like them in curries. Chopped small. Otherwise they are horrible.

[Eeeek686]

You guys are all pandering to your taste buds inner toddler! Green peppers can be delicious in the right context and if you try to see the good in them like lots of people actually ! Don't be so exclusive!

YANBU

It's just an unripe and unwelcome fucker.

[grumpysquash]

This pretty girl loves green peppers, they are her favourite.

[thebestfurchinchilla]

I love green pepper. It's a lovely addition to chilli. Just add it with the kidney beans. I use it in stirfry and salad too. Or I roast all 3 colours with onions, aubergine and courgette in a little olive oil. What's not to like?

[thebestfurchinchilla]

justmeagan I do!

[susurration]

you send me your green one, i'll send you my orange/yellow one. problem solved.
