I like zuccini and eggplant and squash all the same, sliced, coated with flour and fried. I'd be happy to try a different way if it isn't all mushy.
Portabella mushrooms are one of my favorites. The best mushrooms are morrell mushrooms which grow around here but are hard to find. Every year I go out just after remembering the season is nearly over and come home with a big bag of none.
Okra makes me want to have Cranberry push me off a bridge.

I'm no longer trying a new posting paradigm

I'd be interested to know how you are familiar with the taste of Satan's faceCranberry wrote: This is a portabella mushroom for those who don't know:
Can't you just see the face of Satan in it? That's how they taste--like Satan's face!
(And no amount of soy sauce can help them...)

Cran, The UK and Ireland have each been described as the 51st state.
The UK because of the feeble way it sort-of pathetically backs whatever foreign policy the US has been nudged into.
Ireland because so many Americans seem to have originated there. And with any luck will go back to visit and spend lots of money. Maybe it's just the Americans with loud voices.
Since they can't BOTH be the 51st state, one must be the 52nd. Take your pick.
Oh, Are you going to do Garbanzos and Zucchinis as well?
(I mean chickpeas and courgettes!)

That reminds me of the time I went to kiss the Blarney stone (well, I was passing and it was there), and met a whole coachload of American Tourists.Innocent Bystander wrote: Maybe it's just the Americans with loud voices.
I shall only say that all Americans I have met since have altered my views on the Nation.
It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that schwing

We have to understand that Americar is one of the largest countries in the world in terms of population. A latino strawberry farmer from southern Arizona and an Inuit seal-hunter hunter from northern Alaska and an Amish butter-making family in Pennsylvania are all extremely different in terms of language, religion, socio-political outlook and all that stuff from the "average" white protestant middle class you see on the TV. America has quite literally thousands of different independent socio-cultural groups, so very little (or nothing) holds true for all of us.

My goodness, perhaps we could loop this thread back to the one on Britishness...

Fascinating indeed. Thanks, Walden!
I'm quite fond of babaghonoug (or any of the many variants of spelling it enjoys here in the provinces) meself.
And grilled eggplant with olive oil and garlic .... mmmmmm!
Aubergine is a much prettier name; maybe we should switch.
