In response to "so b!, any chance you make your own eggplant parm? if so - I'm curious - do you press the eggplant or salt it to get rid of the bitterness? -- nm" by JenBro

iirc, i tried both methods; and sweating (salting for 20-30 minutes then rinsing well) seemed to work best. if the eggplant seemed toughish, i would pre-bake slices on their own for 5 or 10 minutes or so.

my recipes are unavailable right now, but this one seems close to my memory:

I don't find the taste particularly bitter, but I do like to roast my slices (brushed w/ EVOO) in the oven first - - 'lia Jun 2, 00:12 3
- i found it varied depending on the kind of eggplant. - b! Jun 2, 00:27
- Try making ratatouille. Crash made it after we saw the movie and it was delicious. The eggplant was "sweet". -- nm - Trish Jun 2, 00:20 1
  - The recipe looks good, but I tend to think of eggplant as a fall/winter food since it usually needs time in the oven - - 'lia Jun 2, 00:32
solution: be normal and don't eat eggplant -- nm - dug Jun 2, 00:07
