Default Interesting eggplants

I'm thinking of growing some of those round green Thai eggplants this
year, and I'm hunting out some small red ones that looked like plum
tomatoes that I had once. Anyone got any other
"grow-them-yourself-becasue-they're-hard-to-find-in-stores" eggplant
suggestions?


Check out one called Fairy Tale. Very compact plant, fruit is lavender
with white stripes and is non-bitter with few seeds. We use them for
grilling and in stir-frys.
We got our seed from a local seed house but, I'm sure they'll be
available many places. They were an AAS winner last year, not often
that happens to an eggplant.
