Mom and I have been very surprised and pleased at all the curiousity and interest that y’all have shown at our market find! We are pleased to now show you the conclusion of the Saga of the Green Goddess, as Monday morning she met her fate! 
By the time I reached the kitchen the prep work had already began, however Mom had thoughtfully left some bits aside for me to take pictures of
The interior was quite pale, practically white, and the seeds were few.
Here is where it ended up, in my mom’s very yum ‘Chinese Chicken and Eggplant Soy Sauce thingy’ (name currently undergoing rewrites 
)
So how did it taste? Well I don’t think it was milder than the eggplants that I’ve tasted, but it was definitely sweeter! It also seemed to be of a firmer texture as it did not break down during the cooking process like the purple ones that we’re used to. I enjoyed it a lot as did my mother. We’re gonna get a larger batch the next time around

Very very interesting. I’m thinking I’d prefer this variety of eggplant being that it is sweeter. I’ve only had eggplant on a few occasions, but it always seemed as though parts of it were bitter, and others were not. Of course, I just like sweet things. heehee.

Danielle – if you tasted a bitter eggplant it means the person did not take the time to salt it before cooking
Not all eggplants need this treatment but it’s still a good step to take depending on how it will be prepared 
The cubed pics of the eggplant above were when mom was salting it to get any bitter out 
But yes, sweeter is better 
We liked it a lot !! 
OO thanks for commenting too

Wonder if they’re similar then to the little eggplants used in Thai cooking? Little seeds, slightly sweet taste? Now I am craving a green curry with eggplant. Anyone know where I can get green curry paste? (I did try making my own and it wasn’t too bad, even though I had to adjust and replace some ingredients)

Wow I am glad to read this. I think when I have the Thai food green curry with eggplant, this may be the one they use too! Or at least similar, because it is firm and sweet. I thought they did something to the eggplant to make it taste like that but maybe not!

hee no problem
i like demanding 
I?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢ll have to sit and watch mom when next she makes it.. she has these things in her head

Looks like a beautiful dish — and it seems to make sense that a Green Goddess would be sweeter!
I’ll definitely sit down with mom the next time she makes it so i can quantify it for everyone
And yes the name Goddess definitely seems apt now

My husband and I decided to plant a few eggplant seedlings in our back yard. The plants grew beautifully and produced lots and lots of flowers, but to my dismay no fruit. Finally one day to my great joy there was one fruit and a week later another.
So the eggplant are green – YIKES!! Something has to be wrong I have never in my life seen a green eggplant before. Maybe when they get bigger they will turn purple – Not happening. They seem almost ready to harvest so I decided to check the internet for answers and found your site.
Thanks to you I now know that we have green eggplants in Trinidad and will cook and enjoy my sweet Green Goddesses.
