There are a few kinds of vegetables that are very polarizing: half the people love them, the other half can’t stand them. Without a doubt, one such vegetable is eggplant. But the shiny dark violet fruit offers not just unimaginable pleasures, but it’s also the key ingredient for the smallest pizza in the world.
