EGGPLANT!

Or if you prefer

AUBERGINE!

I have sliced and salted my eggplant. Spongy motherfuckers, aren't they? Anyway, at the moment all the little eggplant-fries are sitting in a colander, coated in an entire shaker's worth of salt. Later, they shall roast. Indeed. Well, I might pan-fry a couple just to see. This is a very labour-intensive vegetable.

Oddly enough, I usually smell vegetables very strongly -- walking into a Subway sandwich shop is like plunging my face into a bucket of shredded lettuce -- but this eggplant appears to have no odor at all. Maybe that means it has no flavour, which would honestly be a nice break for me.

In the meantime I cooked some bacon and reheated some portobello slices in the toaster oven and had a portobello and bacon sandwich.

HEALTHY.
So this is the eggplant before cooking. I'd post an "after" picture but they didnt change appearance after 15 minutes in the oven.

They taste like floury salt bombs. I swear I rinsed them really thoroughly after salting them.

Not a success, but not yet a failure.

Fuck, now I have to try this stupid vegetable again.
