It’s not hot take Tuesday but here’s my hot take anyway: eggplant is terrible. How do people like it?!? It’s so soggy and bland no matter how you cook it 🤢

Just like many other foods…it’s dependent on how you prep it, cook it and serve it.
Seasonings are your friends.

Dad used to slice it, bread it and shallow fry it. I remember enjoying it, but, then again most anything is good when fried innit.

Baba Ganoush.

Best reframe the discussion to ‘creamy and delicious’. Does absorb other flavours well. I quite like eggplant cut in 12 or so lengthwise wedges, then the cut surfaces dipped in lemon juice and dusted with seasoned flour, then sprayed with a bit of oil and then put under the grill cut sides up. Leaving the skin on keeps each wedge together, so you get the creamy inside and the crunchy coating. A hawt dipping sauce goes well with this. Sort of eggplant chips.

Another vote for eggplant being vile

Gets the go ahead in a fresh thai curry but the next day it is mush.

I like eggplant. Moussaka. Babaganoush. In curries. Yum.
