    I'm no expert, but in nature bitterness serves as a warning sign, something to avoid, something not safe to consume. Alternatively, sweetness is, by and large, a good sign of safety in terms of consumption. Having said that, I'm fond of the bitter taste found in beer, coffee and some vegetables.

    My father is really keen on bitter melon. He can eat that kind of vegetable almost everyday and he tells us that bitter melon is so good for our health. There are some benefits such as interacting with gut microbiome, controlling glucose release, suppressing feeling of hunger and even countering chronic inflammation. However, my mom doesn’t like bitter melon as it is too bitter to her and it becomes her undesirable trait. She couldn’t resist when she feels the bitterness on the tip of her tastebuds. From my point of view, bitter food is really mainstream and we are exposed to it way more than we can envisage such as chocolate, coffee, etc

    😊 'I can't quite remember' means 'I can't fully or completely remember something'. So, 'quite' softens the meaning of 'not remembering' - similar to saying 'I'm not sure I can remember'. You can find more ways to use 'quite' in this video here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/pmd-l7eNlaqrj6w.html
