Greece is def on my list, I have 8 more countries booked this year already, but still have 3/4 months with no trip, so I shall try and remedy that!
As for eggplant.... It's just terrible, a purple vegetable?!? Cmon, I tried it at a fabulous place on the Almafi coast in Italy, literally the entirety of the meal was amazing.... Except for the eggplant... Hard pass forever and always :)
