This stuff is great!

Hey, cool!

Haven't had the stuff in years, but I do remember that awesome taste.

Aubergines are funny things,
Given that they neither dance,
nor sing,

What do you guys and gals think?

Ahhh, but they do sing. My wife is Iranian and makes many excellent eggplant dishes, including one similar to baba ganoush called kashk-e-badamjoon (badamjoon = eggplant in Farsi).

If you poke an eggplant with a fork and cook it in the oven or on the grill it will sing as steam escapes through the holes.

Oooh-err.

I may need a second poem!

A true aubergines is actually sentient gelatin.

I'm suddenly picturing an awakened gelatinous cube. (Yes, I know it's not a valid target for the spell, but it'd be funny...)

What about the black spidey suit? Sentient gelatin maybe?

 

[Ferret]

Yeah, although it would be called an abberation, which works just as well.

 

[Mycanid]

aberration with an ooze subtype?

wait ... i'm not sure that can actually be....

[the fungus is confused again :\ ]

Japanese eggplants are really good too, and since they are slim, I find them easier to incorporate in stovetop dishes.

My grandmother makes a killer fish paste eggplant.

Oooo ... "Is it nice my precious? Is it juicy? Is it scrumptiously crunchable?"

Sounds VERY tasty ma'am....

Breaded eggplants are also very tasty.
