Now Viewing: bitter_melonTag type: General ニガウリ nigauri, ゴーヤー gooyaa Bitter melon is an oblong, wrinkly & warty-textured, waxy-feeling vine fruit eaten primarily in southeast Asian cuisine. Its bitter flavor is considered an "acquired taste" to most Westerners and is strongly associated in Japan with Okinawan cuisine and with Okinawan longevity. It is also known as bitter gourd, bitter squash, or balsam-pear in English, plus many other local names. Goya from Okinawan and karela from Sanskrit are also used by English-language speakers. Coincidentally, "goya" is also the nickname of I-58_(Kantai_Collection). pixiv tags: 苦瓜, ゴーヤー See also * Tag_Group:Food_Tags * en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Momordica_charantia From danbooru.donmai.us/wiki_pages/31731 Other Wiki Information Last updated: 05/08/16 3:08 AM by surveyork This entry is not locked and you can edit it as you see fit. |
