http://bittermelon.org/ < there's a nice website covering them.

i haven't eaten any as of yet, but i have been anxious to buy some seeds and try some! :)

here's a more informative website: http://hubpages.com/hub/How-to-prepare-bitter-melon_ - and obviously in the salad recipe, substitute sugar with your preferred sweetener! :)

[Sugar Snap Pea]

Hmmm... the name scares me away! :rolleyes:

it's like a funky cucumber (most of them) that is bitter... it's got good nutritional value.. not commonly eaten in the US, though.. but i see them all the time in the local vietnamese market, and they eat them in okinawa, as well as all over southern asia and india.
