I never liked them to start with, as I was getting to the mess late in the hour, and they went bitter. Then this one Sunday, got there early and got them fresh, and they were really tasty. When I moved in with my partner( now wife), I asked her to cook them, and found out then, that if you leave the in a baymoree gently warming they become bitter. I never got to the mess late much after that, so I could get them fresh.
