Yes, if and when you get to the entire thread, you can see what I wrote in the beginning... its absence of proper blanching process that must be maintained in horticulture of this vegetable...
AND WHILE we are talking of blanching... those in the west also eat the endive in salads, I love it with Peanut butter, THAT IS ALSO BLANCHED during growing by a very precise sophisticated timing and process ... ENDIVE is one of the chic(/k)ories used for eating raw... good for the liver ... among other has low level of inulin.. and several bitter alkaloids...
