What is it?

please help

fruit or vegetable
green, bitter, small

Dominican people eat it as a snack for rum

Sounds like Okra, except I dont know whether its eaten 'as snack for rum.'

In The Bahamas, they make good soup with it.

Is this it? It's called a bitter melon. I've never had one but I've seen them in the DR.
