  1. I went to a Chinese market today to see what interesting things they may have. I saw lots of diffrent types of herbs, fruits & vegetables that I had no idea what they were. I picked up a calabash (aka opo squash, bottle gourd, & jorongbak 조롱박) and a bitter melon. Does anyone have any experience with these? Any names of dishes I could try (Korean or otherwise)? Thanks!

  2. Here is a nice video from cooking with dog on a dish with bitter melon. Personally I never tasted it though:

    As for the squash: I suppose you can do with it whatever you do with other types of squash, though perhaps someone has a special recipe for it.
