I'm eating a red bell pepper and it has an odd plastic-like flavor. It's just a regular pepper from my grocery store, came in a plastic bag, washed it this morning. Blech. :\ Anyone else experience this?

    Pretty sure it's real. It came from the produce department, not the "home decor" department. LOL

    Funny how? Like a clown? The pepper is here to amuse you?

    Quoting myself, from original post: "I'm eating a red bell pepper and it has an odd plastic-like flavor."

    Cute! ;)

    OP, it's probably just because the pepper was picked too early. Or, it could be some type of wax the supermarket uses to make it pretty that didn't get fully washed off.

    I wonder how a mom joke would go over right now.

    red peppers taste funny to me- which is why I don't eat them. I like green ones fine- but the red ones definitely have kind of weird flavor.

    Just don't eat it.

    This sounds like a setup. :joy:

    For real though, maybe it was old, or absorbed flavor from the bag.

    Well it's gross. I think it's ruined red peppers for me forever. :'(

    Oh no! Well, I never liked them.

    MY PLAN IS WORKING. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I'm going to go with wax coating. They taste terrible on things like apples and I expect the same would be true of peppers. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Maybe it just didn't get washed well enough. I wouldn't let it ruin your appetite for red peppers forever! They are good for you. I like the 5 lb. bags of the baby bells in yellow, orange, and red. I buy those almost once a week.
