Thread: Todays lunch

I thought fried eggplant was more of a Florida thing, as I've never seen it above the Lake City line and my TN buddies looked at me like I grew an extra head when I mentioned making some. Peel it with a vegetable peeler, cut it about twice as big as a steak fry (if it's too small, it vaporizes somehow. Science, I guess), eggwash, bread in your favorite fish fry and pitch it in. Takes about three minutes, tops, to cook.

Use to eat it all the time as a kid. Granddaddy grew it in his garden. It made me sick one time when I was a teenager and from then on I caint stand the sight of an eggplant. Most likely was the shine I had the night before, but to this day I can't get passed it.

Raise some every year and fry em right along with green maters and squash.
