I hated egglplants/brinjal/Aubergine. You know why ? because I never tasted it. As bad as I was, obstitate to not even taste it in all these years. And then it slowly vanished from our meals as mom soughted out we never going to eat it. But as I started my adventorous jounrney into cooking, I realised just how many things I had never tasted. It all seemed different now.
