Bitter Gourd

A lot of people have seen me eating bitter gourd with some eggs lately.
I always told them that I really love eating bitter gourd, and that I really don't find them that bitter.
Most of them give me that face of disgust. The thought of the bitterness that a bitter gourd can give really made them want to throw up.
I really do love eating them especially with eggs. I really don't care what they think. Their faces just keep on making me laugh. ![](/Content/images/emotes/lol.gif)

Well, I'm not a fan of bitter gourd, but I won't look at you in disgust if I see you eating it.
I guess the bitterness has something to do with how it was prepared. Maybe whoever cooks your food, whether it's a member of your family or yourself, knows how to prepare it in such a way as to remove the bitterness.
My mother would always say, when I ask if the bitter gourd she cooked is bitter or not, she would say it's not bitter. But when I taste it, it is bitter.
So I've become always skeptical about it.
However, there was this time when I had to work in the province for a while, I was served bitter gourd for meals at work and lo and behold it was not bitter at all. So I ate that as much as possible when I was there, because you know it's healthy and all.
Haha!
In any case, I've grown to be ok with some bitterness as the time went by. ![](/Content/images/emotes/thumbup.gif)

I have also tried bitter gourd and eggs, although I don't like bitter gourd. Don't worry about the opinions of others, just enjoy your delicious food silently
