I love eggplant, especially Japanese eggplant (softer skin). In fact we grow Japanese eggplant in our garden. The season is done so I miss harvesting them...
I'm Japanese and we eat lots of eggplant. I like tempura eggplant, grilled eggplant, egg plant miso soup, egg plant pickle (not sour one, japanese style pickles are salty), eggplant permesan and can't forget...ratatoulle!
