To magically remove the bitterness from eggplant and greatly improve the texture, soak it in milk overnight. Once the slices of eggplant have taken a long, luxurious, milky bath, they are tenderized and primed for frying. This is a great party fare. It's easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time. The only problem is there are never any leftovers---it's so good.
