Doh! Of course !!! :-)

And the eggplant jam/preserves your Grandma made that you mentioned earlier!

The near-by Berkeley Bowl has at least 8 kinds of eggplants, from the 
standard hefty dark purple globes to Indian, Chinese, Japanese, 
Philipino, small round green ones to ping-pong ball sized round white 
ones... and a few others i'm forgetting...

The Thais enjoy eating the tiny green and tiny white eggplants *raw*, 
dipped in salt and chili paste... I haven't eaten them that way yet, 
but it's on my list of things to try...
