KYH, I'm happy to amend my information. Your idea about male/female flowers or flower parts makes sense to me. I didn't hear that from Alton Brown; I heard it many years ago. Are they different varieties of eggplant? Do the growing conditions, grower fertilizing, etc. make the difference? Clearly, there are differences. The fat-bottomed ones do have more seeds, and they're not necessarily larger or smaller than the ones that have fewer seeds.
