eggplants are good things to dream about, really!

[insaneneko]

I've been coming across eggplant hate lately. Whenever people pick a vegetable as an example of something they dislike, eggplant shows up a lot. I adore eggplants, and don't understand the specific hate. So please tell me...

Please share any favorite recipes, eggplant lovers! (I hope there are eggplant lovers out there...) There are such lovely eggplants in the markets right now.

I read this article once that said most ppl who hate eggplant have had it cooked badly, because it's bitter when not cooked through.

I don't think I've ever eaten bitter eggplant. Have I just lucked out and never gotten badly cooked eggplant, or have I always eaten badly cooked eggplant and have grown used to the flavor? :P
