Babagonoush is delicious, especially if you make it over an open flame. So is fried eggplant and eggplant Parmesan.
Eggplant is 92% water. You can't fry water. What you are frying is what you add to the eggplant and that's what the flavor is (usually Parmesan or breadcrumbs).
Hey, if you like it that's fine with me just don't tell me it's delicious and nutritious. The only flavor is what you add to it.
