By God, I love an aubergine
(Its goo-ey flesh, its purple sheen)
I like it best with sea spice sauce
And fluffy rice (in clumps, of course)
In ratatouille it stands out
(Pushes the courgettes about)
Of all the nightshades that I’ve seen
My favourite is the aubergine

Comment by surly girl September 9, 2005 @ 1:16 pmMe too!!! Even though we call them eggplants over here. I do have a problem preparing them at home, though — they never taste right. But in restaurants, YUM.
Comment by Meegan September 9, 2005 @ 1:56 pmAubergines. My favourite purple vegetable. So much nicer than all the the other purple vegetables. Like, urm…

Comment by Urban Chick September 9, 2005 @ 2:02 pmUC, I came back because I wanted to compliment you on your often-changing…whaddyacallit — the little blurb under your title on the blog (very funny).
But, now I am curious about this private joke going on with the definitions. Did I miss something???

Comment by Meegan September 9, 2005 @ 4:39 pmaubergines and courgettes … you learned this during your French holiday, didn’t you? On the other hand, it does have a bit of a Nigella feel to it … if you unbutton your sweater a couple of buttons and flip your hair. oh wait, don’t do that. you’re likely to attract rambling lecherous bloggers, the cyberequivalent of dirty old men. hm. xoxo
nhcxcq: oh, I don’t know.
Comment by mireille September 9, 2005 @ 8:24 pmmireille: i’m assuming you are american, in which case these are surely ‘eggplants’?
nigella? tuh! the woman is something of a self-parody here these days…brilliantly spoofed to the point where she seems like a spoof herself
but there is something very alluring when she sucks stray ingredients off her fingers (so says mr chick – how would i know?)

Comment by katiedid September 10, 2005 @ 3:21 amWhat a great little poem!
“Of all the nightshades that I’ve seen/ my favourite is the aubergine” is so memorable, I’m going to be walking around saying it whenever I cook my stuffed baked eggplants. I’ll give you the recipe if you’re in need of a good one…
