I don't get aubergines
This topic was created in the Food & Drink forum by MellowDee on Saturday, September 2, 2006 and has 18 replies.
Can anyone explain them to me? Every time I try them in different dishes, I'll eat them no problem but my palate fails to appreciate their taste and texture as being appetising in any way. I personally find aubergines unpleasantly squishy and fiberous with an uninspiring flavour. Yet aubergines are liked by many people. They feature very much for example in Sicilian and Egyptian dishes. I like most vegetables and can justify it in each case. For example, I love the rubbery meaty texture of mushrooms, the soft powderiness of potatoes, the chunky succulence of boiled carrots, etc. But with aubergines my palate draws a blank.
Does anyone like aubergines and if so, why? Perhaps I could be converted and be able to see/taste them in a whole different light!

Not sure if I've ever had the pleasure of munching on eggplant. although maybe I did and my taste buds tried to block out the traumatic gastronomic experience. Water chestnuts? They're the crunchy light kinda things in a lot of Chinese dishes aren't they? I actually like them. They add a kind of airy note to a dish. IMEO of course (*E=eating)
Oh I see. Well perhaps Rotten Eggplant maybe more apt.
Oh gosh, I love eggplant. Eggplant parmesan es delicioso.
The mild flavour I interpret as bland and the stringy gewy texture tickles my taste buds in all the wrong ways. But I haven't had any of the dishes that have just been mentioned so might give them a shot. I haven't given up on the eggplant just yet...
I guess the aubergine is a more versatile veggie than I thought....

:) Miss u guys! OMG, this valley is so amazing. I spent the last few days on the beach looking at the mountains and swimming in clear waters. I got a good job, and my favorite part - scorpbabe just keeps blowing me away with his love, day after day.

Say if you had another shot at a relationship with someone you still consider special, what would you do differently?

So according to most of the books/articles I have read so far regarding pisces, they are supposed to be very easily influenced by other people.True or False?

Since there are many Piscean people here who feel bad about Sun being in Virgo.
I suggest total destruction of constelation Virgo and all what depends on it.
Agree, disagree?

I feel like a runaway train wreck
Desiring him intently always needing to check
What he was up to yet nowhere to be found
So often day after day he was never around
I felt a connection the moment we met
Truly a magical time betwee
