How do you like your eggplant?
I don't eat eggplant often, and when I did I usually rolled it in egg batter and seasoned cornmeal then fried it. But I pretty much quit eating fried foods a while back but Aldi had the eggplant on sale and I bought one. I've fixed it parmesan before but I saw a recipe for baked and stuffed that looked interesting. Which ways did you like and dislike eggplant prepared and why?

Rolled in egg batter sounds good. I'm not good at preparing eggplant. I've always enjoyed it fried in pan when someone else makes it. Elderly ladies seems to have a recipe that works.

Try it the Roman way: bake wide strips of eggplant (I peel the sides), topped with strips of zucchini, basil leaves, parmesan and some marinara.

That sounds similar to eggplant parmesan. Only I just sliced it in round slices then battered and fried it and then added the marinara and parmesan and baked it. In all honesty it was usually left over fried eggplant that I wanted to taste different the next day. haha.

Dead and burned 100 miles away. Eggplant (called "Aubergine" in proper English) should be considered a warcrime against cookery to grow - let alone cook. It's awful stuff.

English is an official language in many countries, and by now, there is no "proper" English -- only standard English, which is the same the world over in terms of grammar but varies perfectly legitimately in terms of some limited vocabulary. And I must point out that "aubergine" is actually an Arabic word that the British adopted via French. By the way, try telling the Australians, who use "eggplant," that they don't speak "proper" English. See where that gets you. -

I like eggplant just about any way it can be cooked. Last year, I had only 1 eggplant survive a late frost in the spring, but it produced a total of 19 eggplants. I tried a new way of brushing slices with oil and grilling both sides and salting them, then into a jar with peppers garlic and olive oil. This preserves the eggplant, and you pull it out and eat it with bread. It was pretty good.

That sounds good! And another benefit is I don't have to eat a whole eggplant by myself before it goes bad! -

That's right. I found that recipe on youtube. They have a lot of eggplant stuff from different cultures.

Grilled or stuffed and baked. I also use it in an Asian fish curry, in ratatouille, and in an eggplant parmesan -- but I never batter the eggplant. That's too heavy a treatment.
