Traditionally, I always grew the regular eggplant that you can get in the stores. The biggest problem was the seeds and the mushiness (spell?) when you cooked them.
There is a teacher that is 2 classrooms from me that has caught onto the fact that I love plants. He is a veggie grower. A couple of days ago, he stopped by my classroom early in the morning and asked if I wanted some eggplants.
I took about 6 of them and noticed that they were so slender, not the big fat ones. I brought them home, and they were sliced, dipped in an egg/milk mixture then fried and WOW! I had no idea!
What a difference in eggplants! Who would have known? So, today, I told him not to compost any extras because I want them!
I'll have to ask him the variety name. Gosh! I am impressed! We have the same planning block this semester, so I hope to get a chance to talk to him more about gardening. He is obviously very good at it!
Fun!
