Bitter Melon Adventure?

Um...it is an acquired taste, yes bitter/astringent in a veggie way. I would slice like a cucumber and take out the seeds. Maybe stir fry 3-4 slim slices with the rest of food. I would add mushrooms, slice red pepper. Of course, I have no clue what your recipe is. Make sure you have rice or pasta.

Let us know. Be more conservative in the amount your prepare for a dish in 1 supper sitting.

I'm trying to think of comparable food taste...and I can't.

I do buy it fresh 2-3 times per year.

I will try this tomorrow night - hmmmmm - I don't eat rice or pasta, but I have cauliflower and make a very nice "rice" out of it. Just a couple of slices? Got it, wasn't sure HOW bitter it really is but read on several sites just how "acquired" a taste it is. Thanks, will let you know tomorrow night

I don't have rice often anymore.

I choose light pastas --made of egg white, or buckwheat, etc. There are specific pastas that really are light. I guess I would tend to use an Asian recipe..or use curry with the dish. It would be an interesting kick. Can you have couscous?
