Pretty, but tiny.

You should see the purple ones for the weekend.

Show me! Show me! Please, Lucy...? i am sure the purple ones would be so pretty too.

And YES, OF COURSE we should meet up next time you are here. I can't promise you that I'm not a freak.. hee hee..

Have a fab weekend,
Nora

So cute!

The first time I had these was when we had a room service thai curry at a hotel in Sydney. We had no idea what they were! I blame the jetlag...

Lucy, Those the most beautiful eggplants I have ever seen. (I reserve the right to use the same statement after seeing the purple ones).

Lucy said...

I will, Nora, though you'll have to wait...am making a many-eggplanted curry to post about next week. Consider it a date!

Wendy, they will be used in a curry tonight for a post that you will feature in next week - aren't they cute?

They are an oddity, Sophie, so I'm hardly surprised that you couldn't quite work out what they were - jet-lag...urgh..

They'll be outed next week, Suganya!

This is an amazing picture, Lucy: it baffles me and intrigues me. I guess I'll have to patiently wait for the next piece.

I gather these the ones wendy teased us with? I am looking forward to seeing how you cook with them - they have that cute look of doll's house food!

Wendy said...

Now I'm intrigued! :)

I so love the variety of eggplants. One of my fav veges. I was thinking today about how many cuisines use eggplants - Italian, Greek, Turkey, Lebanon, Indian, Thai, Japanese, Chinese, and probably many more.

How wonderful I have never seen or heard of anything like this! Are they good to eat?

Susan said...

I want to pluck them off their branches like grapes. Bet they pickle up very nicely. Too, too cute, Lucy. If you tell me you've harvested from your own backyard, I shall cry with envy.
