Puzzle Description:

Not only is Eggplant Parmesan addictive because it is so delicious, but eggplants also contain nicotine. As a close relative to the tobacco plant, they have a higher concentration than any other edible plant. About 20 pounds (9 kg) of eggplants contain the same nicotine content as one cigarette.

Hmm. I didn't know that. Interesting. Good puzzle.

So -- a cup of coffee followed by eggplant, a glass of wine followed by eggplant, an intimate encounter followed by eggplant ... lol

While I like aubergines, I couldn't imagine eating 20lbs of them in one sitting!
#7: Lollipop (lollipop) on Sep 2, 2012
You mean you're not a chain eggplant eater?

Cool puzzle David,what do you mean by that's the way you do it? During an intimate encounter,shouldn't you be doing the one your intimate with? That would be better than doing the eggplant.lol.:)
#10: David Bouldin (dbouldin) on Sep 3, 2012
the key phrase, aldege, was "followed by"...as opposed to "with" ;)
#11: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on Sep 3, 2012
I know David,but it doesn't seem as funny that way.lol.:)

eating 20 lbs would diff help you to quit
#13: David Bouldin (dbouldin) on Sep 3, 2012
help you quit intimate encounters?

I'm not an eggplant lover, so it will be your fault if I smoke.
I was rooting for clams, and that's a whole other conversation.
#15: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Sep 3, 2012
pleaseeeee don't smoke Jota....doooooo more clams :D

That was fun! I had a little trouble getting started, but once I opened my eyes it flowed nicely.

Yes, it usually helps me to have my eyes open while solving, too. :-)
#18: David Bouldin (dbouldin) on Sep 3, 2012

...also, adam, i went ahead and classified your comment since you forgot.
#19: Adam Nielson (monkeyboy) on Sep 4, 2012

Based on this conversation, I don't feel as guilty for thinking it was an item for "relaxation and release" :)
#22: David Bouldin (dbouldin) on Sep 10, 2012
o_O

Great puzzle, David. And so interesting.

Lollipop, you're too funny. :-D

I'm addicted to parmesan cheese.
#24: Bill Eisenmann (Bullet) on Sep 10, 2020
I have a really hard time keeping it lit!

sometimes easier just to hold a lighter under your spoon
