Who likes eggplant?!
Answers: i had my first today, and i didn't like it it made me sick....AND i'm a vegetarian haha how lame
EGGPLANT NOT GOOD FOR TASTE BUDS UG. lol
i think it's nasty...bleh!
That's like saying, 'who likes ice cream?' NEXT!!!!
Eggplant is yummy.
It's not one of my favorites, but it depends on how its cooked. I've had it a few times where it's been cut very very thin, and then breaded and baked. When it's made like that it's great on a roll with tomato sauce over it, and some melted cheese.
Other then that eggplant is pretty nasty.
I mean you like what you like. Personally I love all kinds of meat from prime rib to beef jerky, but I also love eggplant... especially stuffed with cheese, peppers and mushrooms. Have you tried it stuffed? It's better that way.
I do, I do! Roasted with garlic, lemon and evoo, with a marinara, or parmessaned, and especially in moussaka...Greek style casserole.
I like it...it's pretty good
not me!
It depends on how it's cooked, but sometimes, yeah! Go eggplant! XD
I don't like it plain, but love it in Indian dishes.
I love it cooked as Eggplant Parmigiana.
i love it! maybe you just had it prepared in a bad way. try it in a different dish or grilled and marinated. yummm
I love it fried.Taste like fried green tomatoes.
It probably was not properly prepared. Or it might have been old. The seeds in very large and old eggplant can have a very bitter taste.
I happen to love eggplant, but there are some ways to prepare it that are better than others.
Here is my favorite eggplant recipe. I developed it by combining three or four other recipes. Give it a try before marking eggplant off your menu permanently.
Doc
Eggplant Casserole
“Doc” Hudson
1 large Eggplant (you can also use a couple of pounds of zucchini, or yellow
squash)
1 Egg
1 small Onion, finely chopped
? Cup Margarine, melted
? Cup Seasoned Bread Crumbs
? Cup Milk
1 can Mushrooms, drained (stems and pieces are OK)
? Cup Red or Green Bell Pepper (your choice but the red gives a touch of color)
1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup
? Cup Plain Bread Crumbs
? Cup Margarine, melted (this is not a duplicate of the above)
Salt & Pepper to taste
Peel and cut eggplant into cubes, about 1” or less, cover with water and boild for 3-5 minutes, then drain.
Combine egg, onion, seasoning, peppers, ? cup melted margarine, seasoned breadcrumbs, mushrooms, soup, and milk. Be sure to remember the salt, even if you omit the pepper! Stir well.
Add the above mixture to the eggplant and stir well.
Spray a 1 ? quart casserole dish with non-stick spray. Pour the eggplant mixture into the dish. Sprinkle with the plain breadcrumbs, and drizzle with the second ? cup of melted margarine.
Bake at 350*F for 40 to 45 minutes, until the top is a nice golden brown.
Here's what to do: next time, peel the eggplant and cut it into slices about 1/2 inch thick.
Cover a cutting board with paper towel, and sprinkle salt (kosher or coarse sea works best) on the towel, then cover it with eggplant slices. Sprinkle tops of slices with salt, then cover with two layers of paper towel. Sprinkle top of new paper towel with salt, layer more eggplant, etc. until you have all the eggplant nestled in salt.
Then put another cutting board on top and put a couple of big cookbooks on it to weigh it down. Let eggplant sit for 1/2 hour or so, then remove it from the towels and rinse it well. Then prepare your recipe.
The salt and paper will remove much of the acidity from the eggplant, and then you can enjoy it more easily.
Or, try other varieties of eggplant. Chinese and japanese varieties are less acidic than the usually big purple USA versions.
omg...i absolutely loveee it!
I like it if cooked in a good recipe. There are many eggplant casserole recipes. I like to use the one where you cube the eggplant and boil till tender, then mash. Add chopped onions, 1 beaten egg, 1/2 cup Itallian seasoned bread crumbs, a can of chopped tomatoes, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese. Then bake at 350 for 30 min.
I recently became Vegan, but I can't stand eggplant. Never could. I hated it when my Mom made it when I was a kid. Nasty.
i love it, we had it for dinner tonite.
slice into inch thick circles
then dip in egg
dredge in bread crumbs
deep fry
top with marinara and mozzerella
serve with pasta and marinara
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
I like it, but it has to be done right. If it's not cooked enough or prepared correctly (soak pieces in water for several hours, and squeeze water out before cooking), it can be very bitter. Also the skin doesn't have a great flavor. If it's done right, the eggplant itself has almost no flavor at all.
I am personally not a fan of eggplant. I've found one way I like it though - in ratatouille! Not the movie, the food dish. With lots of tomatoes, spices, and soy cheese I hardly notice its existence.
I used to hate it; now I like it okay. It's not my favorite, though.
I don't like aubergines (eggplant) either; they are in the same slimy category as courgettes (zucchini) and okra - the slugs of the vegetable world.
Each to their own.
Love it
mmm, i love eggplant.
this is how i cook it - slice into coin shapes (Chinese or Japanese eggplant only) - lay on paper towel - sprinkle with salt- let sit for 10 min - dab with another paper towel to soak up excess moister - oil a baking sheet - spread eggplant evenly (you can spice with fresh garlic, pepper, salt, whatever) - broil for about 7 minutes (keep an eye on it). Makes them half crispy and delicious!
