We ourselves saw an Ami woman selling a type of vegetable which looked a little like bean sprouts, but in fact turned out to be the leaves of the bitter melon plant. Most Han Chinese housewives would probably not even know how to prepare them.
我們就曾遇到賣菜的阿美族人，那菜從外觀上看來與豆苗有幾分相似，但卻是道道地地的苦瓜葉，要怎麼吃它，漢人家庭主婦可能不知道。
