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.

I've never believed in salting them first (though I've read it in books)
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.
