  • This is a completely new to me recipe – never heard of it, never tried it (Obviously). It seems really interesting though. I like that it sounds quite substantial – I don’t think you’d be hungry after a dish of this. Thank you for sharing the recipe – it’s really interesting.

  • Wonder what bitter melon taste like in a soup. I used to put it in a blender as it is supposed to be very good for you.

  • This recipe sounds unusual. It may be a bit of a risky taste for my children?
