No Romaine?

So the innards in the eggplant is what we would be targeting. Hmmm.

Sometimes the ability to fact-check takes the fun outta stuff. 🤦 🤔

The PoFolks restaurant chain has some "interesting" food they call vegtables:

If it's not served for dessert, it's probably considered a vegetable. 🤔

It always says "Mac & Cheese"

might wanna experiment with a small batch at a time until you get the mix you like.

Real baba ganoush is more middle east with more tahini, and I like that.

But the Romanian version didn't call for tahini, we just liked it. But sometimes just olive oil, s & P mixed in would be great if the eggplant picked up any smokiness from the grill. Used to just scoop some up with a piece of lettuce or some stretchy thin pita bread we'd get from Syrian markets.

I can enjoy eggplant parm but has to be really thinly sliced eggplant cooked to a soft consistency. Just don't like any need for chewing it...

well, for the snotty dip stuff, yes.

Most eggplant lovers probably slice crosswise and pan fry or deep fry for dishes like Ray mentioned, eggplant parm.

I had the moussaka at a "modern Greek" restaurant on the Cape called Estia. Went there on tailgaters recco and the eggplant in the moussaka was very soft, as the waitress promised. I believe the skin was on.

to the op, I forgot to mention the zukes and yellow/summer squashes I eat all the time. Conan reminded me.

Tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum), Peppers (Solanum capsicum), Eggplant (Solanum melongena) are all related flowering fruit-bearing species of the Solanaceae family

Other flowering Solanaceous fruit-bearing species include Tomatillos and Ground Cherries (Solanum physalis), and Potato (Solanum tuberosum} and Tobacco (Solanum nicotiana)
