On Eggplants


 This came as a surprise to me, I thought of eggplants as vegetables how about you?

Welcome to August!

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

  3. 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

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

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

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

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

  16. 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

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