Michael,
This is the most wonderful little eggplants.  They are called Thai Pea 
Eggplants (Makhua puang Solanum torvum) and grow in berry like clusters.  
They are wonderful in Thai Hot Curries and in Nam Phriks, spicy Chile dipping 
sauces.

If you want recipes I have several authentic ones for these wonderful 
treasures.  I'll email off list so folks don't go crazy......but all recipes 
have Chiles galore!

My daughter is going to be in Sydney in February on a business trip.  Do you 
know a place to buy the seeds there????

I bought some seeds a couple of years ago at the Weekend Market/Chatuchak 
Market in Bangkok, but they didn't germinate and I can't get them here in 
California.  In fact I have looked to no avail at all the Oriental seed 
sources and growers---nope.  We get them frozen YUK in the Thai markets at 
best.

Mary-Anne
