Not asian, don't know what it is. But i would love to try one. Im in for trying anything as long as it's healthy and doesn't look like a pile of shit. Could it be possible to get one of these in Croatia, i wonder?

Im Chinese and I was originally put off by bitter melon. But maybe because of smoking tobacco I have developed a taste for stronger tasting foods such as olives :D
I like bitter melon but not too much, it is an interesting flavour.

I hate the bitter taste, parents love it in soup and shit but i can't stand it. I have grown a tolerance to it as of late but i still don't like it and i definitely wouldn't be eating it.

+1 Gook too.

If you can get baby bitter melons, the taste isn't as strong as the big ones. They're good with fermented shrimp/fish sauce (bagoong in the Philippines) or when cooked with other vegetables, again with a little fermented sauce. My parents are big fans of having bitter melon cooked with eggs for breakfast, but utterly failed in convincing me to do so myself.

I forgot to add that I also enjoy eating pickled bitter melon (atchara) as a side dish for grilled meat.
