Does anyone else automatically call eggplant, aubergine? I’ve always known them as aubergine, but my mum’s first language is French, so I may be an outlier.

@yorrike Yes.

@yorrike @simonwoods It is the English English word for the fruit of Solanum melongena, so there is that.

@yorrike absolutely

@yorrike In India, we called it a brinjal. Only when I moved to the US, did I learn about eggplant.

@yorrike There's something so miserably utilitarian about the word eggplant.

@simonwoods Like breadfruit or orange
