What is better tasting when it tastes bitter?

Asked by flo (13313points) April 21st, 2013

Nothing for me, but are there such people who like bitter things? Is there a manufacturering method that makes things taste bitter?

Gin and tonic. Lime anything! A good marmalade.

A concoction that is both bitter and sweet can be delicious.

How about coffee? I throw it out if it tastes bitter

I hate anything bitter-tasting. I consider lime more sour than bitter.

A lot of people seem to like dark chocolate, which I find bitter and gross. So, maybe that’s one.

@Blondesjon my German friends tell me that a ‘real man’ would never say that beer is BITTER, only that it has HERB ;-)

Sour cream, in which slices of cucumber and raddishes are mixed. Yum!

@Pachyderm_In_The_Room If my sour cream was bitter, I’d assume it has gone bad and toss it. Sour cream should be mildly sour/tangy with a touch of sweet. Then again, many people use Greek yogurt as a healthy alternative to sour cream, and I find Greek yogurt to be bitter. I also think it tastes nothing like sour cream.

@fremen_warrior . . . thank dionysus that the reinheitsgebot only defines a “real beer” and refuses to waste it’s time on “real men”

Gin and tonic, tatstes like punishment pure and simple.
Dark chocolate “gross” is right. That is definitely bitter.
Beer is okay to me much better that the above.

Dark chocolate and grapefruit are two that come to mind.

Thanks for your comment, livelaughlove21. Everyone has his/her own tastebuds, some already formed at birth, some seasoned by childhood dining experiences. To me, sour cream tastes a little bitter, which I like. So let’s just agree to disagree about the taste.
