What Does Eggplant Taste Like?

I often walk past the eggplant and consider buying it. It's not a huge decision but eggplant is one of the more expensive items in the vegetable world. Several friends have assured me that it's not purple inside, and nothing special. So, I've always passed it over and became one of those people who do not eat eggplant. It was on sale at the farmer's market, and at the age of 27 I finally ate it. I even cooked it. I had heard that it tastes like feet, but I find it be more like a sassy squash.

That phrase sounds like it should be on the inside of a Laffy Taffy wrapper. What do you call a mythological eggplant? Sassy Squash. Get it? Sasquatch. I never was good enough to be a Laffy Taffy writer.
