I like to refer to as "the meat that grows on a bush"...anyone got any tasty recipes?

My fav is sliced thin dusted in seasoned floured and fried in butter until the outside is crisp...

Also like it as a casserole with sausage...

anyone ever tried "Mock Oysters"...?

I love it...but Sharn Jean doesn't, and if I don't insist, we never have it. I like it fixed the same way you do...fried...and I like it hot. It loses a lot when it gets cold.

Slice medium-thin, slather with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and throw it on the grill. Yum.

Stir fry. The little Asian ones are better than the big purple ones.

Interesting timing for this thread. I like eggplant; wife doesn't care much for it. She will eat a little battered and fried as others have said. But Wyatt's Cafeterias in the Dallas area used to (maybe still do) have an eggplant casserole (Baked Eggplant) that I always liked. So last Saturday, I bought some eggplant at the Farmer's Market, found what is supposed to be Wyatt's recipe on the Internet and I tried it. It wasn't bad, but it was too dry; not as good as Wyatt's, but I'm sure it was my fault for getting some quantities off a bit. And it's too many things to buy for such small quantities of each.

I think I might have been snatched as a baby from the deep south. I like fried eggplant, fried parsnips, rutabagas, turnips and kohlrabi. Folks around these parts look at me as if I were from Mars, when I ask for any of the five veggies I've listed at the local grocery store. Fortunately - there is a Louisiana coonass living down the road - fried catfish and fried parsnips and, maybe, a touch of the lightning.

Well, I might have believed you if you had said that you liked fried okra...but I have to admit, some of the best eatin' ever was a mess of fried...fresh caught Mississippi River catfish!

Mmmmm.... Fried okra! Or my favorite, boiled okra drenched in butter.

Eggplant - fried as well. Have had it in a casserole and liked that as well.

Catfish?? I could eat that for days!!!!!!!!!!!!
