I believe in the bitter gourd (balsam pear). I just got this idea when I had dinner with the bitter gourd. I think there are not much people known what the bitter gourd is. It’s a vegetable planted a lot of Southeast Asia, South Asia, China and the island of Caribbean Sea. It’s green and taste is bitter. I remembered when I was first time to eat the bitter gourd, I vomited a piece of a bitter gourd as fast as lightning when I was bitten it. I said, “Oh mom, it’s too bitter!” My parents laughed at me and said when you grow up, you will like it. I waved my hand and said, “I never like it.”
I believe in the bitter gourd because it proved what my father had said. I start to try the bitter gourd. I don’t hate the bitter gourd like when I was a child. I grew up and tasted a little bit, but I still vomited it out. It’s different between the first one because this time is not completely bitter, it has little bit sweet. It’s not really sweet as sugar. I start to understand what my father meant. When a person grows up, he realizes things more then he was a child. If I compare the bitter of the bitter gourd to bitter of live, the bitter gourd’ bitter is nothing.
I believe in the bitter gourd. It’s good food for health. Many Chinese foods are with the bitter gourd. It has 55% vitamin C and 93.95g water over 100g a whole bitter gourd. It has a lot of different Vitamins in it.

i really like how you related the bitter gourd to maturing as an adult.. it was a really smooth transition... i liked it! and i did learn something new from your blog because i have never heard of a bitter gourd til now lol!
You are the only person outside of my family who I've met who likes the bitter gourd. In my family we call it bitter-melon. It is probably one of my favorite vegetables. It is the best when it's been pickled in vinegar for a few days and mixed with garlic and onions and salt and pepper.
