Bitter Gourd

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.

You enjoy eating gourd and eggs is fine.

I also don't find bitter gourd bitter comparing to other bitter vegetables bitter eggplants, neem leaves and there are other wild vegetables I love eating

Eat what you like and you should not care what others think.

I love bitter gourd with eggs, too. It’s delicious. I love it more when the bitter gourd is roasted in an open fire and slice them and eat with vinegar and oil dressing.

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
