Try salting it first

>>18180285
stop shoving them up your ass before you eat em

>>18180285
when they're fried into thin strips and used as a pizza topping they're good. otherwise agree it's gross

>>18180285
I don't think I've ever even had

>>18180285
These things are amazing. You can do so much with them, but literally all you have to do is slice them up, toss with oil & salt, and roast for half an hour. Loaded with nutrition too. Basically revered food in the middle east.

>>18180285
I love them, but they obliterate my stomach.

>>18180487
>when you cut it so thin that it loses all taste texture and recognizability, and then you deep fry it in breadcrumbs, it tastes ok.
Thanks for confirming that they aren't fit for human consumption

You're supposed to cram them, doofus!

Moussaka owns, it's too try-hard for me to make that often but it probably shouldn't be

>>18181867
What? It's very easy to make.

Eggplants are not really complicated to cook, but you need more than other vegs to make it really good.
deep fried with batter and breadcrumbs, for example, is quite a tasty treat but you have to:
-slice it up
-put some salt
-let expel water for some time
-squeeze out water
and then you have a better raw ingredient to use for that

>>18180802
you have to cook them, those are slightly poisonous raw

don't cram them if you are a beginner

>>18180285
absolutely, i'm canadian with Mediterranean family. This shit veggie was in everymeal. Itmade me puke but was forced to eat it.
>anon, you're med, you're gonna eat aubergines

last week, the greek takeout i went to put some eggplant sauce instead of tzatziki. i almost puked and threw everything in the trash

fuck eggplants

>>18183171
A little story doesn't make your point more valuable, and also who the fuck pour "eggplant sauce" instead make a side dish without asking for allergies?

>>18181867
without eggplants its better

>>18180285
*tastelet detected*

>eggplant parmesan

Reading all these responses, I never knew what a pleb filter eggplant was.

>>18180285
shit taste buds
the steak of vegetables

>>18180285
Oh so today it's eggplant? Is this some sort of injoke I'm not getting, that we need atleast one "I don't like this vegetable" thread a day?
Neck yourself you retarded children.

roast whole (preferable over a real fire) forever until they turn to mush. then peel and scrape out the flesh, mix with salt, a little garlic, olive oil, tahini and eat with bread
babaganoush is better than everything else mentioned in this thread

>>18185587
i forgot lemon juice, you need that as well

>>18185587
>baba
Basado. It's like hummus but if hummus was actually good

>>18183239
i would guess he means baba ganoush

Are you eating them raw and unpeeled?

dumperringh place near me has this "Special Braised Eggprant" dish and not only is it the zenith eggplant accomplishment but it's also one of the best fucking dishes I've ever had. It literally haunts me.

>>18180285
add things that actually taste nice to it to trick yourself into liking it
you know, the same thing we do with every other vegetable

>>18180285
Grill them
