Worth, do you like bitter greens like escarole or any of the chicory varieties? I bought some kind of chicory at the grocery store and the cashier asked me what it was. I told her and she asked if it was bitter. I said, "yes" and then she said, "so why are you buying it if it's bitter?" I said, "Because I like it!"  |
Yes I love bitter greens like chicory,
radicchio, endive
and oil cured bitter olives.
I like to eat the bitter oil cured olives with a beer like Fat Tire, Newcastle or Harp.
They have flavor not just bitter.
I also let my ales, porters and stouts breath in a tall glass before I drink them and never ice cold.
Externally cold beer ruins the flavor like it does a good wine so I drink it around 45 to 50 degrees, even 60.
That is the reason people drink rot gut beer ice cold, because it tastes so bad.
