36. I've never been able to find Sun Golds in stores.

I've found some other yellow or gold varieties like Sun Sweet that are pretty good, though not as sweet as Sun Golds. I haven't noticed any kind of aftertaste in the ones I've grown; maybe it's because they're home grown. I can take bell peppers or leave them - I don't mind them but I've never bothered to grow them myself. There are a couple of vegetables that I will not eat: Raw onions, especially the red ones (and I'm not crazy about cooked onions, either, but can gag them down in small doses), which completely destroy the flavor of whatever they're in and render it inedible, and brussels sprouts, which are truly horrible no matter how you cook them. They taste and smell like rotting garbage with an overtone of something extremely bitter. Yuk!
