latest frm the garden

here are some eggplants, cloud nine and black beauty.

Lovely! How are you going to cook them?

i am going to stuff them with the pump from the ep's plus some chop meat, zucchini and top it off with some home made tomato sauce fresh from the garden.

Wow Herbie! That looks great. Do the cloud nines taste different from the black beauty?

i find all white eggplants to be a little milder than its black counterpart.

I find that the flesh is milder and sweeter, but the skin is tougher. I thoroughly enjoyed the one Frank gave me. I grilled one of these, a Black Beauty, and a Violetta de Firenzi for a tasty little comparison plate. The BB won, hands down, as the flesh and skin were both tender and tasty. The VdF was the toughest and most bitter. Last night I grilled a Beatrice, which was quite tasty (skinned).
