Only in China would people eat something that tastes so bad because it is supposed to be good for you. Think of eating a vegetable made of Alum. Bitter Melon is supposed to cool you off especially for women. I have to admit that the taste did give me the chills but it didn’t last longer than the taste. We had a little gathering and ended up having a Bitter Melon eating contest between Jake and Penny. I think Jake cheated cause he had his wife, Shelly, finish off his last 2 pieces – I am not sure that was included in the marriage vows.
