Pare

Bitter, a taste that some people dislike. People tend to avoid bitter taste after knowing sweet taste. Many people choose other ways than have to feel bitterness. Just a little who interest in bitter tastes. Only certain people accept the bitter taste.

When we talk about the bitter taste of life, the taste is too broad. The bitterness in life is very diverse. This hand will not be able to write down all worldly bitterness. Let's talk about the bitter taste that is simple but has the same meaning.

Have you ever eaten bitter fruit or vegetables? If not, you should try it after reading this article. Have you ever eaten bitter melon? In Indonesian it is usually called "pare", in Sundanese it is "paria". These vegetables have a bitter taste, but vegetables are still vegetables. This green vegetable is not poison even though it has a bitter taste.

For people who do not like the bitterness of bitter melon, they will immediately judge its taste as bad. But for people who dare to taste the bitter vegetables, will judge correctly, whether this food is delicious or not.

Delicacy is not judged by the bitterness or sweetness of things or experience. Enjoyment is just an expression that people like it. Sweet things don't always bring goodness, and bitter things don't always bring badness.

For me, bitter melon is a unique food. If in the right people, this vegetable can be a very delicious food beating McD's fried chicken. Even though it is bitter in nature, for those who know how to cook it, this bitter melon won't taste bitter after serving. I'm sure you will like it too.

  12. Kalo aku cukup suka ama sayur Pare ini, meski rasanya pahit, tapi tetap enak kok.
    Tapi itu kembali ama penilaian masing-masing sih.

    Btw, emang benar sih, karena rasanya yang pahit, jadi banyak yang berkreasi ama Pare ini biar bisa dinikmati banyak orang.
