Do Like Gourd Family?

Veggies are good for our health and those that dislike any sort of non veg and eggs are dependent on veggies only for their daily meals and if we look closely then there are many veggies that come from the Gourd Family and thankfully I have started to eat all of these. The only one that I sometimes dislike is Bitter Gourd.

@LadyDuck I used to dislike it but you can boil it or grate and prepare "kofte" like fritters and they taste so good

@Butterfingers I like the chopped bitter gourd. You need to soak it in salt and that is the time the bitterness is reduced, before cooking it

I've known that many vegetables belong to this family, and it's great to have such a diverse range to choose from. However, I must admit that Bitter Gourd is not my favorite. Its taste is a bit too bitter for my liking, but I still appreciate the nutritional benefits it offers.

I love watermelons, muskmelons, cantaloupes and honey dew melons. I don't like pumpkins or squash. I can eat cucumbers but they definitely aren't my favorite.

Bitter gourd could be delicious if mixed with other veggies like string beans, eggplants, squash, and green pepper, and then eaten with rice and fried fish. This is the perfect meal combo,.

what I didn't like was the eggplant and bitter gourd. For bitter gourd, I really didn't like it since I was little, while for eggplant, I was always nauseous by it, so I stopped eating it since I was in middle school.

I like pumpkin, cucumber and bitter gourd. I like bitter gourd with fried eggs or spare ribs in black bean sauce.
