Take one large aubergine. i got lucky getting one for 50p. :D

cut in half lengthways., then slice thinly as you can.

get pasta bake or other earthenware dish. do in layers with aubergine.

cover with passata from a jar or carton. then open can of chopped tomatoes, put that on top. Then take soem garlic cloves and chip in halves, stick in the gaps.

bake in oven for 45-60minutes, till the aubergine is soft. (about 200 Celcius)

Get a crumbly white cheese, i used Cheshire, but Caerphilly or Wendeslydale should also work. If you are american, this may be tricky. White stilton would also be awesome, or something italian that would work as a substitute (internet thinks Pecorino or Colby would work) , Slice cheese, then cut slices into smaller bits for to sprinkle on top

Grate breadcrumbs and mix with salt and pepper, sprinkle on top, then use Grano Padano or Parmesan to help make the gratin-y crust form nice and crispy.

bake for another half an hour. the garlic will be soft and baked, so no need to worry about getting a mouthful of it.

Can be served with chicken, for carnivores, and a little salad. Veggies can has just wioth salad and maybe some garlic bread.

I made this one up based loosly on something I had in a french resturaunt. it took a couple of goes to get right, but this is the one that worked., Pics to follow.

No, you round up so it's 65 mph.

Also, this all makes perfect sense if you don't overthrow the king and set up your own government...

So.... Lemme get this straight. You converted a recipe by a Genuine EnglisherTM, in Genuine English amounts and measurements, into Colony-Speke.... And called it "English".

No wonder America is doomed.

You must understand that since the Imperial Capital was moved from London to Washington over a hundred years ago, the official language of the anglo-sphere is now American English. None of this aubergine shite. You are also advised to drop all of your extraneous u's and replace half your s's with z's. Also, they're called zees not zeds. Your OED will be burned but replaced with Webster's. You are strongly advised to read it.

You're both wrong.

America is still just an English experiment.  They had their answers by 1967, and just maintain it as a joke now.

They would if aubergine was understood here.

Does sound tasty though. I might have to get some eggplants this or next weekend.

I suppose you could try it with eggplant instead if you're feeling adventurous.

I would have to. They don't sell aubergines in the US.
