I can relate with the bell peppers. I can handle a few on a pizza, but a bunch in a stir fry, no way. I always substitute jalapenos or anaheims in any recipe that calls for them.
Side note: Almost every Thai restaurant I've tried in the US uses them in great abundance, whereas I've never seen them once in many many months in Thailand.
