As a kid, I got used to eating this (along with a lot of other vegetables) because we grow them on our backyard and we earned a living selling them. Everytime we harvest ampalaya, there are always quite a lot left for us to consume and to give to the neighbors. Nanay and mama would usually cook this with a lot of eggs or shrimps :) It was only last year though that I found out that sprinkling this with salt then rinsing before cooking is the secret to avoid or lessen its bitter taste :) Now a lot of people will be able to know as well because of this :)
