Eggplant
Tried some today for the first time in my life
and I did not like it, I grilled it using my hot
plate and I just ate it straight and I did not
like it that is all

Shame. It's actually really good if you prepare it correctly, but it may be an acquired taste because I think it's related to tobacco. lol. Both are
nightshades. Eggplant contains tiny traces of nicotine.
You should prepare it this way for eggplant parmigiana.

Note, the link above is English, but the Italian one below may be better.

You can make stuffed eggplant too. You can stuff them with breadcrumbs and cheese or even ground meat.

This video is probably the easiest recipe for something baked:

Finally if you want a Middle Eastern recipe then make the dip baba ganoush.

Eggplant is kind of like the bacon of vegetables, you cant really eat it straight but it goes well with a lot of other stuff
I love going to a mid eastern restaurant and getting a bunch of dips, eggplant included
Chinese also do good eggplant

Eggplant is super versatile, but isn't always that user friendly. It drinks a LOT of oil, like all the oil and then more, unless you draw out excess water by
salting it first.
