Ah, so only half as bitter?


You can get rid of the bitterness by cutting up the raw eggplant into
appox 1-inch cubes or 1-inch-wide slices, sprinkling them with salt, and
then letting them sit for about 30 minutes. Then wash off the salt ant
the bitter exudate before cooking.

(Old middle-eastern trick.)
