I hate all those three. Plus courgettes and brocolli, and I've gone off cauliflower too.
I love all other vegetables though!
You're all mad quite mad.
And how are you cooking your aubergeine? It's unusual in that cooked right it's astonishing, badly it's vile.
Courgette and broccoli cooked lightly are fantastic.

That error would have got you infront of a firing squad.
I know, I was just trying to make a funny.
Quote: zooo @ August 12 2008, 11:06 PM BSTPlus courgettes.
Zucchini! (Ready the firing squad.)
I think I only have aubergine in some kind of moussaka thingy.
I apologise for my limited sense of humour. I only find meat and dairy products funny.
Zucchini is a far better word.
Baba ganoush (when made with tehina and mayonaise) is one of the best things in the world.

1 Stick the whole thing in an oven at 200 degrees, after stabbing it with a fork. It should be limp and saggy when it's done. Then slice it down the middle and scrape out the insides (which should be grey and wet).
Either eat as is, or mix with tehina, a few mashed broad beans, garlic and some olive oil.
Or just stir it through with mayonnaise.
2 Slice whole thing into half centimeter slices, lay on a tea towel and cover in salt. After 20 minutes rinse salt off, and throughly pat dry then repeat for other side. You can do this more swiftly.
Now either.
i Cook on an oven tray for 10-15 minutes covered in olive oil in a hot oven (best quatered), should have a firm exterior and soft interior.
ii Or fry with onions, peeled tomatoes, and peppers, on a low heat for half an hour.
iii Dip in breadcrumbs (preferrably matzo), then egg, then matzo then flash fry them in a deep pan of hot oil.
Serve version iii with plain yoghurt or sour cream.
I feel slightly dirty now, should I make a crude joke?
..pendulous aubergines, cheeky Zucchini, ripe and ready for a nosh.
For supper we've had biscuits, Yorkshire Tea fruit cake, 'coffee and walnut' cake ..and grapes, 'cos we're trying to be healthy.

Well I hope you keep your joke books seperated!
I had toasted potato bread (a local delicacy) with melted cheese.

I laugh whenever I read that the Taliban, al Qaeda and their ilk have declared cucumbers and zucchini to be "male" and tomatoes and similar round fruit to be "female" and therefore forbid them to be displayed together because it's un-Islamic. A man must purchase the "male" fruit because women aren't allowed to.

Wonder what Taliban would make of one of those?
