You are probably very bored by now. I probably am too. You are probably hungry. And tired. And sick of Matzah before you even started eating it. Now you get to eat bitter herbs and try not to go to the hospital. The bitterness reminds us of living through the bitterness in Egypt. We will also dip it in Charoset to remind us of the bitterness but also the sweetness of being together. 

ברוּךְ אַתָּה יְיַָ אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ מֶֽלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, אֲשֶׁר קִדְּשָֽׁנוּ בְּמִצְוֹתָיו וְצִוָּֽנוּ עַל אֲכִילַת מרוֹר

Why do we eat bitter herbs and not other bitter foods?
