The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

Exellent recipe. The cinnamon and nutmeg really bring out a different taste to this recipe. Instead of grating the eggplant I cut it into small chunks and that seemed to make for a better loaf. It was nice and moist and full of flavor.

A sneaky way to get some veggies into a meal! The grated eggplant has a texture similar to sauteed onions so you'll never know it's eggplant. The taste is good - sort of a mediterranean taste with the cinnamon in it. It gets 4 stars, however, because it was WAY too moist to form into a loaf. Drain the tomatoes for sure! And I'd even let the eggplant drain on paper toweling before adding it next time (salt it lightly to leech out the liquid then squeeze dry in paper towels). I baked the meatloaf in a baking dish because it wouldn't hold a shape on a baking pan. Still very good though!
