Besides Ping Tung, Ma-Zu I really liked some of the japanese eggplants kamo and mitoyo.
Scooty... Is there alot of difference between the eggplants from Thailand and Japanese?

With some of the ones I got saying they are pea to plum size, it doesn't sound like they would easily make eggplant parmesan. So how do folks eat these?
