Aubergines first appeared in UK shops when I was a child and I was horribly disappointed at mismatch between wonderful glossy purple appearance and boring tasteless interior. I realise they can be made nice, but still think guilty of false promises
Said no Turkish person ever
You just need to know how to cook’em right I suppose! Nothing beats a good eggplant dish in olive oil.
Richard!!!
Also when I moved to the UK I was REALLY confused by the bald courgettes. In Cyprus they are furry, not a lot, but they are. Always a bit intimidated by the fur on them in Cyprus but weirded out by their baldness in UK. 
Is this the "Fruit You Have To Cook In Stuff To Make Them Taste Of The Stuff" thread?
That’s tofu. And not sure if that counts as fruit 
You read my mind...
I never liked them as a kid, but I've recently been thinking about trying them again. I'm reconsidering now.
They are my favourite veg tho... or are you put off from the effort? It's actually not much effort?
It's one of those things where I don't particularly remember why I don't like them, but the memory is strong enough that it's put me off for nearly 20 years. And realising that they take quite a lot of effort to make them palatable even to people who like them...
Is that true for a lot of food? I find sticking them in a bowl with salt after slicing them easier than many other foods. I just sit there and wait for them to sweat and then oil them up and bake them. But yeah, if you don't like them — that's totally a good reason not to bother!
Ah, I wrongly assumed from your first tweet it was a lot more work than that. The reason I'm tempted to try them again is I previously felt this way about courgettes and olives, which are now two of my favourite foods.
They are like courgettes and olives in this context, yes!
Yeah, sorry, it's my idea of a joke. 
It culminated in a very surreal exchange!https://twitter.com/o_guest/status/1137473428271849472?s=19 …
Can’t beat an aubergine however it’s cooked
They are so good!
