So I just was finishing up a jog, and stopped just outside my apartment building to walk for a minute. I noticed one of the farmers whose fields surround my apartment building, and started a quick conversation with him. After discussing such important topics as how nice it is to be young (he apparently was a very young looking 78) among other things, I asked him what kind of plants her grew. After giving me a quick tour, he asked if I eat eggplant. Before I can say anything else, he's cut three eggplants from the nearest bush and deposited them in my hands...I love Japan :-)
Now all I have to do is figure out how to cook them...

What a delightful story! Reminds me of your experience sophomore year when you first got your hair cut and the woman in the hair salon gave you a bag of persimmons.

Make eggplant parmesan! Some of the ingredients may be hard to come by there but it's worth a try. Yum.
