Hooh boy. I know I'm going to get flamed for this, but here it goes anyway..................................
Technically, by definition, I'm an omnivore but I lean heavily toward the carnivore end of the scale. I LOVE meat. Any meal I eat has to have meat as the star; with one exception.
Eggplant, for me, is an acceptable (the only acceptable) substitute. Not just acceptable, but welcomed. Breaded and fried, or brushed with olive oil and grilled.

Mrs. P makes that occasionally and it's one of my favorite dishes. Meat AND eggplant. It doesn't get much better than that!
(Well, except for properly boiled ribs and grilled eggplant, that is.)
