What foods taste bitter to you?

Many bitter food I like, ginger, cilantro (not the case when I was a kid), pomelo, grapefruit, bell peppers, chicory…

Broccoli, kale doesn’t taste bitter to me.

Bittermelon, depends how they were prepared, sometimes I find them refreshing, other times, just horribly bitter. Once I ate some dandelion as salad, they weren’t that young, and tasted very bitter, but I believe they can be interesting if use in a small amount, accompanying other food.

I don’t like ginseng or dong guai, nor Chinese medicine type of soup. One time husband bought the wrong herbs neem, this was uneatable! If anybody know how to cook with neem, please share.

I believe you can learn to like “bitter” especially in alcohol, cocktail and beer etc.

I saw this book a while, if you like bitter food, maybe you might find this interesting.
