Is it possible to cook overripe eggplant that is edible?!
The fruit is soft but has no black spots. It is the long Asian variety.
Answers: I figured I may be able to roast it without peeling it, but wasn't sure how it would taste. Anyone have experience with this?

Sure-- go ahead and try it.
Whenever I make baba ganoush i always roast it without peeling it.
Roast it for a good long time (50 min to an hour). Then take it out and let it cool a little. Peel it, and squeeze most of the liquid out w/ a fork.
Then mash it w/ fork, and add tahini sauce, garlic, and lemon juice. It's just delicious!
Try making baba ganoush.
I always remove the skin when I cook eggplant.
Slice in half lenghtways, place a couple of slices of garlic on with a couple of sprigs of time with olive oil and salt. Wrap in foil and roast on medium heat for an hour and a half. Scoop flesh out of skins and whisk till smooth. Now serve on top of mashed potatoes with some yummy lamb and it'll be VERY edible.
