I read in my cookbook not to eat raw eggplant... I just didn't know if it was because it was dangerous or if it didn't taste good that way.

Yum. I really like (raw) eggplant, tomato, dark lettuce and veganaise (mayo) sandwiches on toasted bread.
:) Sometimes I add banana peppers.
After you cut off a good slice, cut off the skin and some of the eggplant near the skin and it will taste good.
I once had a really bitter one and was informed it was bitter because I got the wrong kind. When choosing an eggplant, get the ones that have a really bulbous body and a shorter thin area near the stem. The longer thinner ones are super bitter and have tons of seeds.
But be careful because eggplant goes bad quickly. I only buy one when I am in the mood to eat a lot of eggplant sandwiches.

Chefgrill is incorrect. Potatoes, Tomatoes, and Bell Peppers are also in the nghtshade family, yet none of us are dead from eating *them*, are we? It's the LEAVES that are poisonous.
Eggplants are NOT poisonous. While there is a minimal amount of a toxin in them, it not enough to do harm and had NEVER been linked to a death.
Basically, eggplants are gross and fiberous if not cooked. They just aren't platable.
