Blanca de Gandia:

Verde de Valencia:

Blanquinegra (LL-16)

Blanca de Valencia:

Pometa:

Verde Clareta:

Morada de Mallorca:

Me dieron ganas de meterles cuchillo a todas y directo al sarten o a la parrilla! Se ven hermosas.

I felt like putting them all under the knife and straight to the pan or on the grill! They look beautiful.

Now I want some eggplant too for dinner. Very..very nice. I didn't even know there were Spanish Eggplants. Learn something new all the time. : )

I'm curious about Verde Clareta. Are they ripe as photographed? Or I s it similar to the Italian Cucuzza which will be twice that size?
