I bought the bitter melon it looked so cool
an exotic food, it made me drool.
I tried it raw, then seared and hot
I sought to like it, but I could not.
The taste akin to old cold tar,
to soothe my mouth, a candy bar.

Yeah, an acquired taste for sure. Think maybe you have to grow up with it as part of your diet.

Oh to be so poetic over a thing of little beauty and even less taste!

Lol.............
Ok, then.
Good to know. They have it at our market, and I've wondered, but now I know.
Carol has bravely ventured there, and I don't need to. Thanks for taking one for the team. In verse, no less. :-)

I guess as a last resort, try pickling it.

Oh my, at least you tried it.
I miss this vegetable. Definitely an acquired taste.
Beef with bitter melon (with black bean) is the way to go with this vegetable! One of my favorites.
