There is a vegetable called gentleman's dish. I don't remember what it is.

All you need is an encyclopedia. The gentleman's dish is bitter gourd. Scientific name: Bitter gourd (Momordica charantia) belongs to Cucurbitaceae and is the fruit of an annual climbing herb. Leaves alternate, palmately 5-7-parted. The flowers are small, unisexual, monoecious and yellow. The length does not exceed 2 cm. Fruit spindle-shaped, with tumor-like processes. When ripe, it is orange yellow, bitter, bright red and sweet. It is cultivated all over China. Because gentleman's food is bitter, but when fried with other dishes, it will not affect the taste of other dishes, and the bitter juice remains inside. "I only suffer from myself, not others", which is also the reason why "gentlemen's cuisine" is named.
