Eggplant is one of those popular veggies that I don't "get". I'd pronounce
the dish as Raaaaaaalph or Buuuuuuuick. My favourite substitute is to
use portobello mushrooms in place of the aubergine. Bv)=

I made this recipe which is traditionally made with eggpant when hosting
a get together at my house to watch the animated movie "Ratatouille". I
chose this recipe as much for the "Bureau Of Sewerage" in the title as
for the "Ratatouille".

The original recipe called for eggplant - not portobello mushrooms. It
was a very successful revision, however.

Hi Ben,

One friend insisted that it is pronounced Baba Guhnooey but i've only heard other people say it like Baba Guhnoosh.

I've also heard it pronounced gahnoosh. Guess it just depends on what
part of the country you're in but it's good any way you pronounce it.
