Oh gosh! August already! I thought tomatoes were vegetables, but that's a fruit too. LOL

Happy First Day of August Christine. I didn’t know this about eggplant either. Thanks for the share.

Now that IS news to me.

This means that only the onion family and potatoes and roots are veggies - and that rhubarb is a veggie too. I think this definition is no good :D

Interesting. I always treat it as a vegetable!

No matter what they said, eggplants are a veggie to me and happen to be something I can eat without tummy issue.

Eggplant is foreign to me. I know what it looks like, but I've never eaten it.

No matter what, I do love eggplant in my diet!

Good to know, but it's great to have these guys in your Italian food or stir-fry!

I never knew that about eggplants, but seeing as I don't care for them, I'm not surprised, Christine.
Blessings!

Like a tomato and I still don't see that.

Eggplant Parmasan ~~ A favorite of mine. Since my father had a large garden, I grew up loving eggplant.

I did not know this.

I think most of us treat aubergine/eggplant as a vegetable when it is cooked, although it's technically a fruit!

Happy August wishes.

All the best Jan

You mean you can't make an omelet with them? Just kidding.

My name is Erika. said...

I thought the same as you Christine. But then peppers, zucchini, squash and pumpkins are fruit too.

Christine said...

Good to know that Erika thanks
