I have read all of this and now thats it I gotta get one of these things,lol. Just to see if I can grow it,lol. Will start lookin for it tomorrow.
Definetly got to have one,lol.

Sachi, that does it for me!
I'm eatin' mine!

Thanks!

Cindy

I'm right there with you. I almost don't care that it'll be bitter!

I bought one as a gift for a girlfriend and she was sooo depressed that the plant was only decorative. She kept saying in a lilting voice, "But I wanna eat 'em..."

She's totally thrilled now that I've found that link! And I am too... Because I wanna eat 'em!

When the time is right, we'll have to get some eggplant recipes goin' down in the recipe forum.
I've got a few good ones.

Cindy

One step ahead of you!

ok, i'm going to find a link to a recipe that i have made using a very bitter relative of cucumbers called "bitter melon". it will work with your wonder eggs 'cause you can put egg plant in it.

and it tastes good and the bitterness is mostly gone...

if you fry it up like egg plant, you are in for a rude awakening unless you like alum water... i don't, but know folks who do!

I need to get a wonder egg plant.....I've never seen anything like it before......Every garden needs a little comedic relief--and this looks like just what the doctor ordered.....too funny. Too bad I didn't think to look for it yesterday when I was at walmart......

here ya go, it is Filipino and called pinakbet and is eaten with rice.

Thanks!
I have eaten a lot of Filipino dishes (well, not the actual dishes, but the food IN the dishes!)

Well, I'm laughing so hard now I can't type!
Doesn't take much to crack myself up, does it?

Anyway, I like Filipino food. There.

But, I'm also gonna have to just bite right into one of those eggs for the heck of it...Fear Factor style!

After reading that last post, it's obvious I need to get out more.

Or up my dosage.

Cindy

I bought a kit for a gilfriend of mine. I think we'll do the same and bite right in just 'cause it won't kill us LOL!!! Heck... I've bitten into green tomatoes before... didn't kill me but I was swishing and spitting for hours!!!

Too bad we're all so far apart where they won't be "ripe for eatin'" at the same time, or we'd have a live "biting into the raw wonder egg" party here, and all do it at the same time!

We'd be spittin' simultaneously all over the world, huh?

Cindy

I think we've gone over the edge.

Woo hoo!!! My seeds germinated!!!! Now I have to find a safe place for them outside!!! Ahhhh!!!

"I've bitten into green tomatoes before... didn't kill me but I was swishing and spitting for hours!!!"


I LOVE "Fried Green Tomatoes", Sachi ...

... the movie 'AND' the breaded tomatoes.

They weren't fried... My brother played a prank on me and told me how good they were. I guess I should be thankful that they weren't worms or slugs.

I'm so excited.....I was strolling though the garden center in wallyworld looking for a way to spend some money, and there in a lonely corner were the wonder egg kits!!!! So I bought one of course......I can't wait to see what they are really like--as soon as it warms up a bit more I'll start the seeds out.... <img border="0" alt="[clappy]" title="" src="graemlins/clappy.gif" />

Oh I have got to find one of these kits.

Hey, guys! I found another great little reference. Eggplants
It states specifically that both unripe and ripe fruits are edible. (Down at the bottom.) I keep checking because they are members of the Nightshade family. But then... so are tomatoes!!!

The purpose in growing these is to see the stunned look on friends and family when they see what looks and feels like "real" chicken eggs growing on a plant.

Trust me, it's fun!

I haven't read this thread yet, but looked at the picture.

Will this plant grow inside??

Jenn, I don't see why it wouldn't grow indoors if it has the proper light.
