When's the last time you had eggplant in a sandwich?
Pic related. Eggplant, roasted red pepper, and mozzarella on a pizza-like bread. So good.
I hated eggplant when I was a kid and I'm positive it's because my mom had no idea how to properly prepare it.
Never. Eggplant is quite shit. If you're looking for a "meaty" vegetable, mushrooms are much better.

seconded,but eggplants aren't THAT bad, just depends on how its prepared
I ate eggplant this morning on a piece of bread - but it was roasted with spices, then puree'd with garlic, habanero, and olive oil.
Eggplant is just a sponge for what you cook it with, it's terrible on its own.
eggplant needs to be sweated before cooking it
a lot of people don't know this and make shit eggplant

This. My mother though she hated eggplant, too, until some time in her 60's when she finally figured out how to cook it.

Then why is it the cornerstone of god tier dishes like mutabal/baba ganoush, moussaka, ratatouille/pisto and caponata?

yes few foods are so dependent if the cook knows how to make it. It can be excellent or absolutely pig disgusting.

I keep meaning to get the eggplant sub but the lure of the capicola is too strong.

It's not the taste, it's the texture

Babby has trouble with food textures?
>>7278615
Babbys would love it. It's mush.

In honesty without being a /ck/ faggy fag, I have never had mushy eggplant. Some times it has seemed like it's actually too hard for what I have used it for so I don't really understand what you are doing to your eggplant.
>>7278628
If it's too hard, you haven't cooked it for long enough. If it's mushy, it's been cooked too long.
