Eggplants...hmmm.
You can't grow wrong with the deep purple Japanese ones, not the long light purple types.
Grilled whole, peeled and served with soy sauce and freshly grated ginger. Our family times our camping excursions to coincide with when our eggplants ripen so that we can sit around the campsite and gorge ourselves on these treats.
I did grow a Italian variety side by side some Japanese ones and for some inexplicable reason aphids loved the Italian one and not the Japanese. I find the Italian ones to be drier- probably because they can soak up the olive oil.
