Did I spell that right? it looks funny. It can be off-putting when we look at a word so long it becomes incomprehensible.. phew that is a word in it's own right.

But to Eggplants, ( I just typed eggpants) Aubergines to give it the correct French title. I wonder where they were first grown? I think we all envision some veggies and foods to have originated somewhere.

Do you use them? If so how often and how? I find them easy to use whether ones cuts and salt soaks them for an hour as often recommended. I rarely do now. In they go to a stir-fry or sometimes a soup.

They are also of the Nightshade family , we are recommended not to eat if we have arthritic tendencies. That goes along with tomatoes, capsicums potatoes and a few others I cannot bring it to mind right now.
I know Ratatoulle is out then!

What are your thoughts on Eggplants?
