ReplyDeleteI have never heard of eggplant soup, very interesting. I suppose it has a creamy texture. Why 0 points?
ReplyDeleteHey Angela :) Yea, eggplants are a bit of a rarity here. I've only seen them in the supermarket twice since moving to Cayman 5 years ago. I really only use one of the grocery stores so for all I know the other two have eggplant and I'm just missing it. It may be too long for it to travel because most of our food comes by ship.
ReplyDeleteOoooh this sounds REALLY good! :)
