I personally like the long skinny Japanese types. The seeds are absent or very small, the fruit is not bitter and they're so good! Someone sent me the seeds for the Italian eggplant so I thought I would try them. They looked pretty in the pics. The long green thai is new for me and so is the konasu (Japanese). I've posted a few recipes in the past but I will post more as I go along. I love them simply grilled (either outside or broiled in the oven) then drizzled with soy sauce and vinegar. Eggplant parmesan is also a favorite of mine. <br /><br />Shannan-LOL! I have friends like that too. I scratch my head back and think, "How could you have never tasted an eggplant?" Your two recipes are my favorite ways to have them. I also did a lebanese eggplant stew (I posted the recipe) that I liked. <br /><br />Kelli-I'm glad your a eggplant lover! They're one of my favorites! They're pretty self-sufficient and prolific once the weather warms up! You should try growing them!~TastyTravels~https://www.blogger.com/profile/17242583069509116828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4328565836109985766.post-84399179292895941392011-06-07T14:54:30.527-07:002011-06-07T14:54:30.527-07:00Eggplant are delicious, I hope they do well for yo...Eggplant are delicious, I hope they do well for you!

How in the world do you cook them?"<br /><br />I look forward to hearing how you use them. I'm kind of a two-hit wonder with eggplant - I basically either roast them over a grill or make eggplant parm. But both are so delicious and yummy that I don't mind if that is the only way I make them. <br />I planted mine last week too and so far, so good (fingers crossed)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02543591269872142920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4328565836109985766.post-45266670848661750922011-06-07T08:13:59.080-07:002011-06-07T08:13:59.080-07:00I am so glad you posted about Eggplant.

Perhaps you will be posting some recipes in future?Dochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05230334534323236665noreply@blogger.com
