Thanks for the kind thoughts! The forum was lacking in rude pics of eggplants, for a start.

TR hates eggplants...
In fact, after we've been out for biscuits and gravy, Cincinnati Chilli and Mettwurst, I might just take him to an Indian restaurant for Baingan ka salaan...

How have I missed that over the past 4 years? I thought I was the only one here who doesn't like them.
I'm not a huge fan. I like them salted, floured and fried but even then I'd prefer the skin removed.
I think they ruin moussaka with their floppy flesh and metallic tasting skin.
Going to hide now as I suspect that's not a popular opinion

I love eggplant. In particular baked, minced, and joined with baked bell peppers, cooked tomatoes and garlic ( and onion? I forget if it has onion)...to form a sort of a bread spread. It was called Kyopoolu, in Bulgaria.
To me touching raw fish with bare hands is a nooo, no no. Sushi is not a treat for me equally...unfortunately...raw meat terrifies me equally...but I am getting better

Yeah…not for me, but I think I’ve made two eggplant dishes for one of the challenges, regardless.
I think it's an Ohio thing. My son, DIL and grandson won't even look at aubergine/eggplant

But I'm not from Ohio any more than you're from Venezuela! I'm from Florida. I just live in Ohio currently.I think it's an Ohio thing. My son, DIL and grandson won't even look at aubergine/eggplant
My whole family loves eggplant and growing up i spent long hours at the dinner table after everyone else was finished eating because I refused to eat it. Went through the same battles with liver, sweet potato/yams, cottage cheese, and more. Finally mum gave up trying to force me to eat them.

I remember. I think you posted you had never cooked one before. I made some recipes for that challenge but ended up not entering I think...I had made some eggplant "crackers" (chips/crisps) that weren't bad and an eggplant and salmon dip that was pretty darned good, but knowing it was in there bothered me so going forward I just made my salmon dip the same way I always did before with no eggplant and was perfectly content, LOL. The "crackers" were time consuming and I would not go out of my way to do that again, but for those with gluten issues it might be something to consider. The second link below shows how I made those eggplant chips/crisps/crackers.
