Ya know, if they had named chocolate cake eggplant instead, I bet no one would eat it either. The name is NOT enticing.

she really screwed up eggplant.

yes it was!!!!!!

One of the benefits of having a JOB or Working-Late is that you can phone home and say you’re “Eating-out” and you can have whatever you want…

I had dinner with a friend this week in Chinatown, the eggplant at the next table looked so good we decided to have it even though he is slightly allergic to it. It was delicious.

Terrible name (like rhubarb pie) but actually delicious.

Hmmm!! fried eggplant or eggplant lasagna.

Fried eggplant in olive oil with some parmasian cheese, yummy! Of course, all of this just hides the true taste of the eggplant which sucks! Very healthful, though.

Yummm… eggplant (and other goodies) in ratatouille. (After seeing the film, we HAD to try this dish – Thank you Remy!)

Andy’s recipes NEVER turn out right, no matter what she tries.

She probably stuffed the poor eggplant full of that toxic tofu she’s so fond of.

Andy’s a culinary genius. The NYT just did a food page story on a restaurant named Dirt Candy that features eggplant tiramisu!

Eggplant, otherwise known as aubergine (would it taste better called that?) is yummy done right – and so is tofu.

Until I was 42, eggplant was on a very short list of foods that I knew I hated and therefore refused to eat. Then I gave it another shot (I think by accident, actually), and loved it. Now well-cooked eggplant is among my favorite foods. Andy should try Chinese eggplant – it doesn’t have seeds (or has very few), so it doesn’t have to be soaked to get rid of the bitter taste.
