Weean Jul 2020 4:08pm, 1 Jul 2020 1,464 posts	0 Weean aubergines are one of the few veg that everyone in this house will willingly eat. Sliced, lightly floured, dipped in egg and fried. When the kids were little I'd arrange one slice from the fat end with two from the narrow end on their plate. We still call fried aubergine Mickey Mouse.
