#5 Chinese Bitter Melon

Recipe: http://www.overseaspinoycooking.net/2011/07/chicken-and-ampalaya-with-oyster-sauce.html

How I felt about it: Oh My God! Horribly horribly horribly bitter. Never ever again. Gross. We ended up throwing out that entire dish.

#4 Opo Squash

Recipe: I just cut it up with com zucchini and yellow squash and sauteed all three in olive oil with a little vegetable seasoning.

How I felt about it: I liked it. It tasted a lot like the zucchini and yellow squash. I will definitely eat it again.

#3 Pummelo

Recipe: It's kind of like a grapefruit, so I just cut it up and ate it like one.

How I felt about it: It was kind of bitter and had a strange after taste. I won't be eating pummelo again.

#2 Chayote

Recipe: I just sauteed it in some olive oil with a little bit of salt.

How I felt about it: I actually liked it a lot. I could see myself adding this to the list of foods I will buy. I was also told that it's good in soups. I'll have to try a soup recipe with it.

#1 Beets

Recipe: Didn't save the recipe and can't find it now...sorry.

How I felt about it: I didn't love them, yet didn't hat them. I hear this is strange for beets, and that you typically either love them or hate them. I don't think they are something that I would necessarily make again.
