As you know, Bitter Gourd is a vegetable which obvious from the name, it tastes bitter. Called Bitter melon in some country too. I like to eat them. But some people hate it because of the bitter taste.
They supposedly good for your health too, like for diabetes or to cure acne
So do you like them?

Yeah, a friend of mine also hates it though she admits that her sister like it and her acne is clearing up, but she still hates it.

Here the bitter gourds are very common vegetables here. It is a very healthy vegetable and especially good for the diabetes. However, I never like to eat it since it is bitter. I never want to eat something bitter. My parents and my friends tell me that bitter gourds are not bitter, I just think their taste is not sensitve. Obviously it is too bitter for me.

It's obviously bitter, but maybe they just so used to it that it's not that bitter for them

This vegetable is super good for you but I cannot stand eating it. I have seen many methods of bitter melon like stuffed with meat or with eggs! How do you typically eat bitter melon?!

Some says, drain them with salty water will reduce bitterness, however not sure if it will reduce the health benefit of them?

@randomarts09 Yes bitter melon is very healthy and great for you if you can eat it. I just can't adapt to it no matter how much I try.

I didn't like when young. Now we use to put chopped meat inside and stem or cook, some even slice into piece and dry. Add some sugar for dessert.
