People vary. I am relatively unusual in disliking the combination
of general bitter tastes and sweetness - for example, I dislike
sweet yoghourt and most cheesecakes, but like ayran and yoghourt
on savoury foods. You are relatively unusual in another way, but
not in a very surprising one.

I'm unusual in many other ways as well Nick but we won't go into them
here eh! ;-)

I was actually asking from more of a chemical explanation POV. ie, do
dark(er) greens have less of what_ever_it_is that make 'greens' in
general so distasteful to me?

All the best ..
