Eggplant? What the Heck?
| Welcome to the eggplant knock page...Ever been slapped silly by someone wielding an eggplant? Growing up, that's what we thought they were good for. Purple, smooth skinned, excellent for whacking someone up side of the head when they weren't paying attention. What else do you do with a vegetable that looks shiny and space age, that's shaped like a club? What about your friends? Have you ever met someone who saw an eggplant and said, "I eat them like an apple all the time!" Ever seen kids screaming at McDonald's "I'm not eating those french fries, I want eggplant! Waaaah!" Did your significant other ever come home from work, take a deep breath, and say, "I'm so happy we're having eggplant tonight. Eggplant is soooo romantic...let's polish off that plate and hit the hot tub..." How come they don't serve it in bars, much less advertise it? How come all the eggplant you see on the shelf at stores is all beat up, wizened by too long a stay in some dusty old box? Ever seen a Gen-Xer with eggplant? Time to get a press and start cranking out "EGGPLANT ROCKS" tee shirts. Give a vegetable a break. Is it possible that it could have nutritional value? Well, it is...In fact, it's so good for you you might as well start eating some. You just have to camouflage it a little in some excellent recipes. Want to know how good it is? |
