    I think it's a pretty color, but I hate the flavor!

    I love eggplant parmigiana and eggplant lasagna, but I picked up an allergy to it. It might be the nicotine in it.

    I love eggplant if it's in season and not super seedy. I find that if it's not used at just the right point, it's seedy and bitter.

    I used to think it was too bitter but now I know the trick :)
    Slice it, sprinkle salt on it and lay it out on some paper towels .. the bitterness sweats out. Blot the moisture off before preparing.

    I like to use it in my Ratatouille! :)

    LOVE IT! I love eggplant parmesan, but I have never made it yet. I will have to try that recipe. When I make eggplant, I love grilling it or roasting it.

    I can't handle the skin, but otherwise it's all right if cooked well. I wouldn't call it a favorite by any stretch, but it works for some things.

    Eggplant, sliced, brushed with olive oil and grilled almost to the point of burned. You can stop here, salt and eat or....

    Lay down a slice, add a little marinara sauce, ham if you want, mozzarella or swiss cheese and bake until cheese is melted. Lazy person's chicken Parmesan. Appetizer, snack or main course. Or breakfast. Excellent for breakfast cold.

    Hate it! It's on my list of "slimy foods I won't eat" (includes avocados, okra, and mangoes)! They all just have a really unappealing consistency to me.

    Sabra makes a DELICIOUS eggplant tomato dip. I can't find it anywhere anymore so maybe it's discontinued but that was my jam. I hate preparing eggplant but I usually like eating it at someone else's house.

    I LOVE eggplant! It's extremely versatile. Most people that don't like it, have just never had it cooked the way they like!
