I wasn’t aware that you could eat any sort of gourd. Sounds like it would be healthy to eat these, but I’m not sure if I’d be able to cook them good enough to get rid of the bitterness. lol Great informative post. 🙂

From where are you, my friend? So,I suppose you have bitter gourd in your country.
Actually, there are two kinds of bitter gourds. One type has smaller of those vein-like covering and those are said to be bitter. But those with vein-like structure as big as those in the picture, are not.
We can still lessen their bitterness by soaking them in a bowl with about one tablespoon of salt for 15 minutes the washing them again in plain water before we cook them.
Do you also cook a dish of this bitter gourd.
The recipe I wrote above has a finished product like that in the picture within the post.

When I was young, my mother would scold me every time she serves Bitter gourd because she can’t forced me to eat it even if she mixed it with more eggs.
I only start tasting it when I was in College and finally liked eating it when I had children of my own. Every time I cook bitter gourd, i add sliced sausages or hotdogs and more eggs so that my children will also try eating it. Nowadays, it is already my children who are requesting me to cook for them bitter gourd.
Another way of cooking it is with coconut milk. You can mix it with string beans and squash.-
I think as we mature our taste buds matures too because we already eat those veggies we previously don’t like .
Actually when I was just a teener, I don’t eat any vegetable except potatoes. How much more bitter gourd.
But after giving birth, it’s as if a lot of hormones in me was awakened, because it’s the start of my loving vegetables specially bitter gourd.
Perhaps our daughter who is now 26 year old and a doctor already , will one day start liking bitter gourd. ha ha ha

I liked this series so much, that I ended up watching it twice. You never knew what to expect from one episode to another.

I watched it entirely online, doing a marathon. It was very powerful, well acted… tense.
