I HATE pepper. Makes me sneeze even if it is cooked into the recipe.

I like pepper a lot and use it in cooking all the time. Two things I absolutely have to put lots of pepper on are hamburgers and salad. I know, that's strange, but they just don't taste right if I don't add lots of pepper. My husband says, "Would you like a little burger with your pepper?" On salad I especially like fresh ground pepper from a pepper mill. Also, the older I get, the more I like it.

I like all sorts of pepper-white,black,green,cayenne etc.Have an intolerance for apples, even though I think they are yummy.

Not me. I love love love it!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

We like pepper on our salads too! Either coarse grind or freshly ground with the pepper mill. Really makes that salad sparkle. :lol: :lol:

I hate it too, if I use it its very spareingly, my dad was allergic to it. So I think there is a few of us around.

I never use very much because that is all I can taste. I only put it in dressing and squagh or eggplant casseroles. I don't want onions around at all either.

I adore pepper...would not want to cook/eat without it!!! Definitely use more pepper than salt. I can just see a cup of clam chowder with the top almost totally black with pepper...yum :thumbup: :lol: and I can see most of you running to the loo at the thought :lol: Sorry :oops: just love pepper.

I use black pepper occasionally and only a tiny bit when I do, and very rarely use salt when cooking. I also don't eat bell peppers because of the nasty heartburn it gives me (not to mention the price they want for it at the grocery stores!).

I am with you and I hate the stuff. I also cannot stand the taste of salt either. I do bake cookies and stuff with salt, only because I'm scared it'll mess it up if I don't use it.

I never used to have grooves in my tongue, but I sure do now and as I get older, they get deeper. When I was younger I could eat not only black pepper, but lots and lots of salsa, hot peppers, even hot sauce at a chinese restaurant. Not anymore. I will not eat food at restaurants unless I'm absolutely sure it won't have pepper on it. My DH uses salt and pepper so much I can't imagine that he actually knows what his food is supposed to taste like.

I love pepper! I use a lot of this spice called Hot-Shot. It is half black pepper and half red pepper. I love it! Not crazy about salt.

My DGS doesn't like pepper because as he puts it "There's dirt on it".

I can deal with either salt or pepper. I prefer pepper. The one thing I cant stand is vinegar or anything made with it. No salad dressings(except blue cheese or ranch), pickles, and lately I HATE ketchup because I can taste the vinegar in it.

Love pepper....the hotter the better !

NO THANK YOU TO PEPPER! I prefer the taste of the food, not "seasonings." Absolutely hate it when I order any meat of fish and it comes from the kitchen black with pepper and other stuff. I want to taste the meat or vegetable. Many spices tear up my tummy. A little salt is ok but that's about it.

I'm not crazy about pepper, I can live without it, but don't take my salt shaker away!!

I actually love having ground pepper on certain foods. Recently I read online, about it's benefits, and now I like it even more. So I am surely one of the weird ones :)

...about the vegetable peppers...some of us from New England carry a genetic variation, so that those peppers taste like "ivory Soap" to us! although I love black pepper!

Love the pepper - fresh cracked in the mill. We also have the peppers in the garden: Green bell peppers, banana peppers, italian.....jalapeno. rrrrrrrrrr

I like pepper and salt, even on popcorn. My brothers taught me that when I was a little girl. I like almost all spicy foods. Well actually, I like almost all food!

I can't stand it and don't cook with it, though I'll eat food with a little black pepper if I love it otherwise. I use little salt (a habit started when I was pregnant 31 years ago!) as well. Too much salt is just awful to me. I don't like any kind of peppers either....

I probably use way too much black and white pepper, but I never use salt. I can't stand the taste of it. It runs in my family, dad was the same way.

I love pepper! Course grind is great, but fresh milled is the best!! Put it on lots of things. Like spicy food in general~
Don't care for green peppers tho. Just the smell of them turns my tummy. (can thank my dad for that when I was a kid!)
Same with onions.

You are not the only one, I really dislike it too!!

I like red pepper but absolutely hate black pepper on anything, so you are not alone

I agree. Why can't restaurants let patrons add their own seasoning? Whenever I go out I have to order my food without seasoning or I just can't enjoy it.

i pepper most of my food. not as harmful as the salt I used to use. and I like the taste. love salt too but it is bad press

I cannot imagine cooking without the basic seasonings. I use sea salt and buy really good peppercorns to grind. Not in excess but to enhance whatever food I am preparing. I also, love really good chili peppers, not the kind that blister your taste buds, but those that have good flavor and hang on just a bit. I'm not into self destruction, but enjoy flavors on the edge. Most of my friends have tender palates and I try to accommodate them when I cook for the crowd. Of course I'm from Texas and this type of cooking was normal for me.

I like pepper but not salt. When I was a teenager (many years ago) my mother had open heart surgery and one of the things she could not use was salt for a whole year and that meant not cooking with it or using it at the table. I got use to eating that way and to this day use very little salt.

I don't like much pepper either and I don't like the hot peppers either.

Nope, you're not the only one. I'm with you. If there's pepper on something that's all I taste too. I sent coleslaw back once because it had pepper on it. Don't these restaurants consider that maybe someone has an ulcer or stomach problems and can't eat pepper?

When I cook I don't salt or pepper. I always tell guests I don't salt or pepper because of different tastes and needs. Always tell them to feel free to add whatever they'd like, I don't get offended. Some people with high bloodpressure can't have salt, others due to stomach problems can't have pepper or spicy food. I do use other spices when I cook though.

Absolutely hate the taste of pepper.

Love the taste!

I love pepper.
But I hate salt don't use it in cooking.

No pepper or dill for this gal!!!

I love pepper and peppers of any kind. DDIL cant stand black pepper but loves jalapenas. lol

I`m not a fan of pepper it tends to burn the roof of my mouth or make me sneeze. When we go out my hubby always wants the fresh pepper and then they immediately go to put it on my food I have to put my hand across the plate so they won`t do it.

I use a pepper mill that grinds the pepper to dust. It melts in the food and tastes nothing like ground pepper.

well, since i havent' used salt in decades-i love pepper.

I'm not a fan....I don't put it ON my food but will use it IN food when cooking. DH puts so much on his food, all his food is black!!!!!

Can't stand it! If there's one sprinkle of it in my scrambled eggs, I consider them ruined.
