Well - OK then.

As you well know I'm a person of potentially enormous inconsistency and I pride myself in my ability to confuse my "enemies" by changing my mind without any hint of indignity or any blushiness - but only in the face of overwhelming contrary evidence. But we're clearly not quite there yet.

So here is the deal.

This weekend I have planned my cheats version of donner kebab which I like with khobez rather than (or more accurately as well as) my own home-grown lebanese flat bread with lovely salad and all my trimmmings.

I'm going to grill some aubergine on the bbq (lava grill).

I plan to slice into thickish slices and simply paint with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt and course fresh black pepper - and grill and eat.

Do I then drip some chilli oil on the cooked result or are we au naturel? Any other variations taken on the chin.

I'm giving this my bestest shot.
