Yum!!!   Gotta try this with eggplant!  That reminds me of another
dish....does anyone know whether the famed Turkish dish, "Imam Bayildi" (or
Fainting Imam, Fainting Priest, etc.) might be period?  It is another of my
faves that I'd like to serve at a feast sometime.  I've heard the legend
about how a gourmet priest fainted when denied the dish, but no reference
to what time period this supposedly occured in.  The modern dish has
tomatoes...
