Are you a fan of Eggplant? The food 🤨

@MellyMel22 they make small two bite perogies as well

@candycane Those are the ones that I make the baby I watch! She loves them..

@Intuitive Thank you.. That was me and stuffed artichokes! I was the only kid in my fam who didn’t like them holidays. Now I love them and so does my 9 year old!

@MellyMel22 I always loved those! You're welcome.

@Intuitive I thought they’d be gross 😆 Love them as adult. I posted about them awhile ago.

@BizSuitStacy That’s how I felt growing up. When my mom started cutting hers thin, it was better to me because it was never tough. Then when I started making, I did it even thinner. My eggplant appears thicker than it is, because I flour and bread it w/buttermilk. I don’t care for eggs.

@MellyMel22 The good meal the portobello was a big ole dude on the plate like a steak with all the sides. I have no idea how it was cooked. I ordered it similar at another place a couple yesrs after. Rubberized awefulnes. I tried it with some meal which everything was breaded and fried. That was the end.same aweful texture. I quit . There's more to it than just how it's cooked. Same with leg of lamb. You'll never get the greasy past me. Says the bacon lover.

@Gibbon Maybe it’s the high heat like frying it that makes it rubbery 🤔 I’m not sure. Overcooked will def do it though I think.

I’m not a meat eater, but I’ve heard others say similar about lamb.

@MellyMel22 Whatever it is portobellos have been relegated to the poisonous mushroom column for me.

@Longpatrol Omg what 😳😩😆 if there were any worms in my eggplant, I would know, I slice it so thin- Idk anyone else slices it as thin as I do.

@Northwest Sounds good! You just reminded me that I forgot to get artichokes 😩 They were right in front of me, but I was trying to find a good green pepper and forgot when I was done! My 9 year old goes craZy for stuffed artichokes.

@MellyMel22 during winter, I cheat and buy frozen artichoke hearts.

@Northwest I haven’t tried them, but wouldn’t say I’d never!

@Yourwildestdreams Thanks!

@MellyMel22 Welcome 🙏

@ShenaniganFoodie I’m not a meat eater, but I’m sure I’d love the veggie stew!

@mindstruggle Always 🥺

@Degbeme
Bacon?

@mindstruggle 🤤

@Degbeme I have turned a few eggplant haters into only my eggplant lovers. Two being friends, they always ask me to make it and it takes forever so it’s not fun 🤨

But really I used to only eat my mom‘s b/c she slices her kind of thin too, but most places don’t and it can be chewy and tough 🤢, so I started trying to make it extra thin and that’s been the best way for me. My neighbor smells when I make it and will text me to let me know she’s aware b/c she wants some 🤣

@ArtieKat Thanks 😄

@MellyMel22 You've got me wondering whether I could take shortcuts by doing some of the elements in my air fryer.

@ArtieKat I’m sure you prob could!

@mysteryespresso Thin sliced eggplant breaded and fried, rolled up w/ricotta mix(I use a little s&p, garlic powder and fresh spinach) and top it sauce and cheese and bake. A good sauce is key I think!

@pancakeslam I usually do too, but not always when I make this! Do you know what they say the trick to buying good eggplant is 👀

@MellyMel22 the divet underneath? heaviness? IDK!

@MellyMel22 looks so good, ngl if I'm hungry I'd eat like half of that tray 😅

@Mudkip I had three 😩 And I didn’t finish rolling up all that I made. Tomorrow 😅

@MellyMel22 tomorrow as always 🤣

@Thrust Originally, yes

@MellyMel22 oh they haven't left...

@Thrust *Most of my fam and friends are still there 🤨

@empanadas I feel like no one does eggplant the same. I slice it so thin so that it is never tough to chew like many places make it.

@ShenaniganFoodie You have to try a little Gorgonzola melted on top(if you like that cheese), I make that often!

@candycane Well that was for 8, for now. I have to put together more, but the hard part is done! If I put that much into making something, I feed others too 😅

@MellyMel22 that's sweet❤
