Two things occur to me immediately:

1. Your sensory apparatus might be unusually sensitive to bitter
tastes.

2. People differ in their enjoyment of bitter flavors, and an
individual's
appreciation (or lack thereof) of bitter flavors can change over
time.

Your not liking brussels sprouts leaves more for those who do.
(Although
it really isn't a zero-sum game.) You're entitled to your
preferences; sf
certainly has some of her own.
