thanks, man. geez, there's enough fish head to go around....twice :hehe: I haven't eaten the fish head per se but I do enjoy the yellowtail collar which is near the gills....it's known as "hamachi no kama." it is absolutely succulent and flavorful....it's usually just salt-grilled and served with a side of ponzu...it's delicious and healthy! all those omega-3 fatty acids!

here's a picture.

Eggplants can be nice too...

Japanese: steamed eggplants with miso paste

Chinese: eggplants stir-fried with minced pork and chili

I'm just not an eggplant fan in general. Dunno why, when I don't particularly mind them. I'd just rather not have them. Must be the texture.

Too mushy?

And we know she didn't have the calorie laden but ever so delicious Italian eggplant parmesean. :shakehead:

Ah, yes.

Haven't had that in ages... The parmesean does get overpowering at times.

Then again, I've downed parmigiano-reggiano risotto without flinching. :mrgreen:

I think so, tho I do enjoy other mushy foods. :sweat:

Replace the eggplant with chicken and I'm good to go. :mrgreen:

i've had eggplant tempura before...not so mushy because the frying and the batter seals in the moisture.

I've had eggplant tempura as well. It's not bad in this form.

I'm with you though...I don't care for eggplant very much, generally speaking.

Hell practically anything tempura battered is delicious....it's fried and crunchy, what could be wrong with that.

When I went to that Japanese tempura restaurant about a month ago and had the tasting menu....it was great.

Japanese eggplant seems to be better at this than regular eggplant. :)
