Milungiane Chijne
Taste this!
Milungiane chijne, melanzane ripiene, or stuffed eggplant/aubergine is a treat no matter how you say it. And I certainly couldn't tell it better than the author of the recipe I will pass on for these delectable fried goodies.

Is your name for this dish in Sicilian dialect? I am guessing it is--how fun! I am growing to love certain aspects of the dialect, and Antonio recently introduced me to a contemporary Sicilian music group that sings in dialect called "Tintoria"--have you heard of them? Their music is quite catchy, and all the more interesting for being in dialect. Try downloading the songs "Luna," or "Occhi a pampina" or "Strunz" which is really funny. Happy September!
Yes, Crotonese is amazing. When aged, it is the definite flavour of the Southern cooking I am familiar with.
Beer is the bevanda of choice with these all summer.. wine as cooler weather sets in and if they are served with a meal. We actually add meat to ours.. ground pork shoulder and maybe a bit of beef (like a meatball recipe) that cooks up surprisingly light-ish with the other ingredients.
The name is from a small Calabrian town dialect. So not far away!
I will have to check out the music you mention.. I do like the regional tunes and have found a few recordings of older folk music from Calabria, some so old that even my suocero (at 76) says it is molto vecchio!
Ciao!
