Yes, and we've had discussions on this list of the new green? blue? 
catsup that is being marketed. I seem to remember that the general 
consensus was "yuck, I don't want/I'm not going to eat that".

I do eat some vegetables. I'm just choosy about which ones and 
sometimes how they are cooked.

I happen to like cilantro and green peppers. But many people here seem 
adverse to these and refuse to eat them. There are lots of dishes that 
green peppers and cilantro (either together or separately) are good in. 
It just isn't sensible.
