If you’re already scratching your head at the title of this post, yet have continued on to find out more… then I’ve already done my job! Seriously, Aubergine.. has such a lovely sound to it. It sounds so smooth, elegant and exotic.. How then did we go from that to… Eggplant, I ask you? Egg plant. Nothing about that sounds beautiful, inviting, or delicious. In fact quite the opposite. When I hear Eggplant, I don’t picture the deep purple, smooth, shiny skin of an Italian globe vegetable…It makes me think of a brown (or white) oval shape hanging off a plant, which is unappetizing. I can understand why many people shy away from it. And yes, although a few varietals of Aubergine are white, or even green, the vast majority are a brilliant purple hue.
