Exploring with Eggplant

[netmouse]

I have just recently been learning that I really like eggplant in Indian and Thai food. I am planning to xplore doing some of that kind of cooking, though I'm not very familiar with those cuisines or their ingredients. In looking at recipes just now, I also found out there are different kinds of eggplant and am wondering where to get the different kinds.

Do you have any favorite non-western eggplant recipes? If so, please share!

Sichuan eggplant and ground pork dishes.

You can find Asian eggplants at the Farmer's market and at many large grocery stores and at Asian grocery stores. They are long and thin like cucumbers, and they don't have the bitterness of Western eggplants.
