Les Aubergines Farcies

That delicious vegetable so attractive to look at, with its smooth and shiny purple skin, is almost as popular in France, Spain, Italy and Turkey, as the cabbage is in England. For some years now, it has made its annual appearance on the English market, and I have found it in most unexpected and out-of-the-way places and small towns in this country, although often the greengrocer who sells it is bewildered when a customer wants to know how it is cooked.
