Maybe my last visit of the season to the Asian family at the farmers'
market. Got some things that I recognized as Thai eggplant - the
small round green ones. Some other things - looked sort of like firm,
green plum tomatoes. The son who spoke English didn't know what they
are. Translated from dad - bitter eggplant.

For a buck or two for a basketful, I'll figure it out.

Don't think either of them are completley ripe. Got the regular round
ones up for dinner tonight - cooked with coconut milk, store-bought
green curry paste (May Ploy brand. Odd packaging - plastic bag
within a plastic tub. My first time, but I think I'm going to like
this stuff) and the usual suspects, plus green beans. Going over
rice.

I'll see how they ripen off the vine. Pickles always an option. In
the blur of google results I thought I saw salsa. I can see unripe
thai bitter eggplant as tomatillo-ish.
