Hah! But an ostrich has fewer toes, I'll accept if you throw a small eggplant in as well.

I had eggplant for dinner last night. Take them all! I don't want them!

Egon.

*takes the eggplants*

What? They're quite good with alfredo sauce & roma tomatoes- try some, I'll share...

Sliced thinly and baked until they're crunchy (preferrably liberally sprikled with Moroccan spices) is the only way they get eaten in my house, otherwise their texture reminds me of a kitchen sponge.

My rule is to bite things when they're raw and if they crunch or go sploosh, then they're cookable but if they squeak, they are not worth it. Eggplants, all of the cabbage family (including Brussels Sprouts), kitchen sponges and mice fall in the latter category.

Now, don't get me wrong, I made melanzale parmigiana on Satuday night and it was really nice. It's just that I have no inclination to eat eggplant again in the forseeable future.

<Puts out new load of eggplant, and some brussel sprouts>

Even at my most extreme state of direness I never seriously contemplated making a lasagne with eggplant.

Coz I woz lucky and someone gave me some done to an Italian recipe and while the sauce was lovely I concur with Robert - old sponge actually has better texture.

Give me brussels sprouts any day and call me Barreeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!

My only explanation is that I'm experimenting with stuff for a vegetarian I know. Lentil bolognese is really nice, if anyone's interested!

Beware the eggplant, it grows by night, and when it's done, you'll die of fright.

E.

Eggplant lasagne! I used to make my own pasta and cheese for it.
The cheese, I miss as I don't really have dairy any longer.

I used to make a fresh cheese by bringing the milk to almost a boil tand then turning it off and stirring in just enough lime or lemon juice to make it separate. Use in the layers and use the whey instead of water.......

Eggplant addict....

Boiled eggplant?

Blech.

Fried green tomatoes are pretty darned good, though. If made with Fannie Flagg's recipe (see back of book).

Why would anyone boil an eggplant? When you can have it virtually melting and in combination with tomato, zucchini and other nice vegetables. Like that ratatouille dish.
Maybe not addict enough to eat boiled eggplant...

I quite like eggplant, but too much and I come up in a very itchy rash- esp my hands for some reason.

Fannie Flagg!?!?

Old Glory anyone?

Does anyone have any chocolate? I'm hungry.

Do you have access to chocolate egg plants?

Not any more. The lab revoked my security codes.

Ouch! That'll teach you to remember to wear your codepiece.

Bunyip:


Not that I know of.....!







I do like those little eggplants with almost white skin and light purple streaks.

I don't know about Emu oil but near me we have an Emo Oil distribution centre.

Perhaps there is some use for the angst ridden teen after all?
