Good Eats S5E6P1: Deep Purple

[QueenBoadicea]

I remember I prepared eggplant a couple of times and how I had to squeeze them very hard and repeatedly to remove the liquid. But it was worth it! What I got was something with the texture and flavor of meat, making it perfect for vegetarians who miss that meat taste... :P

3:41 mr egg plant head?

[trumbachd1]

Anyone notice he used Tahini in his Babaghanouj, but not in his Hummous in the bean episode?

Any idea why he used Tahini in one application and not the other?

[defyingravitythruHim]

@trumbachd1 He's said before that Tahini's harder to find, but use it if you can get it.

[gamemeister27]

Heh, the women are more bitter.

[hsuanstr]

I didn't know that white people liked eggplant.

[kiminokami]

@hsuanstr Have you ever heard of Europe?

[emokittenlove]

wait ... lava lamps are not edible... oh no!!!!

[W0tanTheGod]

hm, in the episode with the persiflage of marry poppins(doesnt remember the correct name of the ep.) he pointed out that salt can defy bitter taste, and sweetness just makes a big sweetbitternotgoodeats-mess. why does he add honey to cope up with to much bitterness?(although it enhances the flavor i guess)

[58XHUNTERX58]

@W0tanTheGod honey is an acidic and sweet ingredient because of the natural thigns inside. since acid brings out more a saliva in your mouth and the salt already added in the baba ganoush it helps balances things

[Ibeatganon4fun]

this is the first episode i saw. (in case anyone cares.)

[gamemeister27]

@Ibeatganon4fun I care!

[Ibeatganon4fun]

@gamemeister27 Why, thank, you!

[ece311]

"It's the lava lamp you can eat."

I hate cooking, but I love this show for obvious reasons.

[gocrazed1]

Every charachter in Good eats is great... except marsha.

[gcarped]

And of course, you are not supposed to like Marsha.. Elton is cool, though!

[timmyg316]

nicotine and morphine are good eats guys....very very good eats

[BellaOfBacardi]

Alton Brown is so creative and smart ;o)

I heart his show!

[superluigi22]

I like his little lines during the sauce making. "It's the lava lamp you can eat!"

[dylenol]

seemed to me like he improvised that on the spot :)

[kiduchiha5454]

AND NOW I SHALL ROAST YOU WHOLE!!!! MUWAHAHAHA!!!! Exellent! ROTFLOL!!!

[ZroseZ]

Notice they didn't put the Italian word for eggplant?

[sillyduckz]

who cares?

[aowarashi]

i live in japan and the japanese eggplant is so much more awesome than american. same for carrots.

[forgottenthought]

whats the difference between japanese carrots and american ones?

[maniacholic]

Chinese eggplant to be correct, it's a long slimmer eggplant which is considered more fruitier because of the difference in skin to meat ratio meaning more pectin.

[maniacholic]

Also, something that doesn't really matter, nomenclature errors in eggplants in the US is very common, unless you're Italian or Indian of course, because those two cultures tend to use eggplants a lot even in the US.

[madman8199]

They absolutely do--and so do Italians. I typically use eggplant Parmesan as somewhat of a barometer for Italian restaurants--good eggplant, good restaurant.

Lack of respect for the eggplant is why my Irish-American hindparts are frequently at "ethnic" restaurants or found cooking recipes not native to "my" people. I shoulda ordered the eggplant with garlic sauce from Kin's Wok earlier tonight, now that I think about it...

[kaizer250]

Heh! Lost face.

[jumpsteady567]

its the lava lamp you can eat

[xeryph]

Mr. Eggplant Head?

[nevenmrgan]

Regarding sex vs. gender, AB is 100% correct. Encyclopaedia Britannica will tell you that gender is an individual's self-conception as being male or female, as distinguished from actual biological sex. "Gender" refers to social rather than biological differences. Plants don't have a gender.

[KatkaTkacik]

Why, then, do words have gender?

[Beccka]

Because we construct social ideas around what words mean. Words don't reproduce.

[obiwan168]

W00T! Hooray for smart people!

The people that make our world go round! :D

[sh97]

Baba ganouj is the best eggplant dip ever!
