I don't. There are a zillion ingredients available to me, and I'm happy limiting my eggplant consumption to restaurants/take out. Mr. CE does the same with ingredients I dislike that don't lend themselves to solo consumption. (By that, I mean ingredients that can't easily get thrown into a breakfast, lunch, or snack that one of us is consuming solo. For example, I grew cucumbers the summer despite the fact that he does not like the flavor of cucumbers. But it was easy enough for me to slice them to put on toast in the morning, or throw into salads at lunch.)
