Yep, as a matter of fact, Ocean Spray posted a recipe for eggplant burgers:

Click on search and type in eggplant and you might find a lot of different recipes..I remembered that eggplant because I am thinking of making it...It's okay to be a work in progress as long as you progress!

I just slice them into thinnish rounds, sprinkle with salt and dehydrate into chips.

Maybe there's a certain way to prepare raw eggplant, but I randomly ate a peice of raw eggplant once and thought I was going to vomit!

I steer clear of eggplant now...my body doesn't to like it raw, but used to love it cooked. I remember reading something about it not being a great food to eat a few years ago. But since I can't remember the source, why or where I got this info from disregard. Guess I'm bringing this up in case anyone wants to research for themselves. Intuition talking.

I eat it raw, but it is put together with other veggies and marinated in a marina-type sauce that has ACV in it. After a day of marinating, it looks and tastes cooked.

It's in the nightshade family and a lot of people have allergic reactions to things in this family - tomatoes, mushrooms, potatoes, etc. - I believe it is the alkaloids in them that cause an interference with our neurotransmitters.
