"A man who was fond of wine was offered some grapes at dessert after dinner. "Much obliged," said he, pushing the plate aside; "I am not accustomed to take my wine in pills."--Jean Antheleme Brillat-Savarin, The Physiology of Taste

Personal Notes:
Aunt Cleta served this for Holiday dinners. When she prepared it she peeled the eggplant in endive size portions, stuffed each peel with the eggplant mixture and baked the individual eggplant servings on a cookie sheet. I did this for many years; but, without kitchen help it was very time consuming. Ray and children look forward to it with our Holiday meals; so I put it in a casserole and can make it a day or so ahead of time. I usually triple the recipe.
