# there used to be a poison garden here.
i think it might still be around - most of the plants are toxic and/or hallucinogenic and the whole deal used to be open to the public off a side street. there were little warning signs, i recall.

# ja, there are many varieties.
i grew little stripy bulb eggplants last summer, but i only harvested a few. apparently squirrels like to eat them too.

# how long did you roast them for and at what temp?
I'm trying to do more vegetarian cookings. I don't consider eggplant to be something I like, but I've never had it roasted.
(I helped save b3ta! Shiksa, Tue 10 Feb 2009, 3:22, archived)
# um, about 2 1/2 hours at 425F (220C).
pricked all over with a fork and oiled and salted.

do you have chinese eggplants or the big huge ones? the big ones need salting and draining first or they're bitter.

# um, roasting takes time.
that's why the results are good: the flavours are intensified by the heat and the evaporation of the water content. what remains is the essence of the vegetable.

the nutrition debate is heated (heh), but there is much evidence that the nutrients are locked in the roasted vegetable.

also, raw and raw-ish eggplant isn't appetising to most people. and i'm not from the uk.

# I don't have any eggplants, currently.
Now that I have some idea how to cook them, I may acquire eggplants. Probably whatever the big dark purple ones are, as those are about the only kind I ever see in local supermarkets.

but I do believe in COOKING THE SHIT OUT OF 'EM.

til they melt in your mouth, pretty much.

# salting makes sense with some varieties here,
old bulb eggplants here need it or they are very bitter, but i seem to recall a conversation here (?) about it being a regional thing.
