Ive never been much of an eggplant fan.
Yea I like it though, it is  is a species of nightshade, grown for its edible fruit.
Isnt it called aubergine in europe?
You are very correct, the English use the word "Aubergine" for it
Yea i learned that through french class haha.
It is also  known in South Asia and South Africa as "brinjal". interesting isn't it?
