Ooh, I never thought of drying eggplant. Do you reconstitute it and put it in sauces or marinades? what do you use the eggplant powder for? do you salt it before starting the dehydration process? I admit I suck at cooking eggplant. I grow them very well. grovegoddess made me an eggplant sandwich this weekend with one of my italian eggplants and it was amazing.

And on the food preservation front:

How about the wildlife preservation front? Have any canned elk?
