A different kind of French dip

The French call eggplant "aubergine," and their centuries-old recipes for the vegetable have become the basis for Aubergine Pate. Though not as thick as traditional meat pastes, it makes a great spread for sandwiches or dip for your favorite party foods. It comes in an 8-ounce container and is available from retailers like Costco. Trader Joe's, and Cash & Carry.

For more information, visit <www.auberginepate.com>. Or contact the product's distributor, Skiff Corporation, at 4114 B Place NW;, Suite 102, Auburn, WA 98001, or at (877) 295-9399.
