Mama, I use to salt eggplant to get rid of the bitter brine. Growing up I thought that was the law with egg plant, lol. Now with eggplant I usually just use the young tender eggplants. No salting required.
Eggplant parmesan and meatballs are one of the best sandwiches 
I love eggplant simply sauteed in a little real butter, kind of let it carmelize and then hit it with salt & pepper.
Jp if you have never had it, i must tell you it is an acquired tatse. I recommend you peel the veggie until you develop a taste for it. Try it simple first. You may or may not care for the flavor. I hated it as a child and love it now, i grew a zillion of them in my garden last year, janie got to sample some of mine;) and so i grew to love them and appreciate them as an adult and i could cook them to my tatses. MY mom never made good eggplant and eating them was a huge turn-off!
