What the fuck even is an aubergine and how are you supposed to use it?

Brit and other euros use that name for eggplants.

Delicious the parmiagana way of course, but also good just sliced, drizzled with olive oil and baked. Lengthwise on the BBQ with a good marinade of balsamic and olive oil and some pinch of herbs. Great in stir fry. I often cube one up and toss it into simmer sauces when making curries.

It's also called an eggplant. It can easily be fried, or seared. It can be grilled as well but try not to tear it apart. It contains a small amount of nicotine and people allergic to bell peppers should avoid it.

It's a great flavour absorber which makes it versatile. You can bake it, fry it etc. Makes good pasta dishes.

It's a member of the nightshade family, which makes it a close relative of tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, and tomatillos. Aubrigines have a delicate flesh so they're quite easy to overcook. They're best when grilled or fried.

When you cut it up, make sure you sprinkle some salt on it and let it sit for a bit (called "sweating") and give it a rinse or patting before you cook it.
The salt draws out solanine, which reduces bitterness.

Aubergine comes from the nightshade family, just like peppers, tomatoes, tomatillos, potatoes, and goji berries.
Its a very neutral tasting vegetable that will absorb flavors from whatever you cook with it. It's delicious fried, stuffed, layered in lasagna, in pasta sauce, or roasted and pureed with roasted peppers and onions and used as a dip or spread. And there's many more ways to cook it as well.

For the past few years, I've been seeing penises on women, of all things, and it's almost daily. Does anyone know what's going on with me?
