Ha ha ha, great post. Great to see all the greens prepared side by side, I'd love to be there for a tasting. You could create a single score for bitterness appreciation, mark each question on a scale of one to five then present the average... I'd totally end up with the top score! Munching on pure cacau nibs, with the most intense of mocha prepared coffees in one hand and a dark English bitter in the other, he he he. Maybe could add a common bitter vegetable to the list, like, hmmm, actually, that's hard to think of a very bitter vegetable that everybody would know, kale?? A trick I've picked up along the way through hanging out with foragers is to make a mix of various different greens, especially when making a salad. Like just bunch up a selection of wild greens and chop them into a bowl. That way no one single flavour dominates and it's a medley of bitter spectrums. Nyum nyum. I'd like to share with you Macka B's rasta rap about bitter..."Don't run from bitter!": https://youtu.be/SfHT4l7Fk_k

You are a bitter lover, for sure! That's a good idea to add a bitter vegetable. There was mention of bitter melon, but that's not so common. Maybe chicory, endive, radicchio. Or for gardeners, the taste of older lettuce that's beginning to bolt. I'm with you on mixing different greens. That's the way I make most of my [Wild Salads](https://steemit.com/food/@haphazard-hstead/salads-from-weeds-tree-leaves-flowers-and-seeds-food-challenge-4-15-minute-meals). Chopping everything really fine mixes all those flavors so well! I've never had a mediocre salad that way! :D *Eat more bitter, you will want more bitter. If you want more bitter, you will want less sugar.* That's a great rasta rap, so perfect for foragers! Thanks for including it here! :D

Yes I thought of bitter melon but hardly anyone knows it, even chicory isn't that well known to be honest. Out of the three you suggest I think people would know endive. Mature lettuce is a good one. Macka B has a facebook page and posts new veggie/health themed raps every Monday, worth following! It's great to start the week with such a funny pick-you-up.

Not having common bitter vegetables -- that's commentary itself, isn't it! Thanks for the Macka B!
