Ciao !

Love the light/dark purple hue and taste but I don't like the English name eggplant. (melanzana in Italian).

I love them baked in the oven with tomatoes, thin slices of ham o mortadella, grated cheese, oregano

Yummy !

It has a certain shape that can make a naughty mind think naughty things

Yes, that was the idea. The eggplant emoji (🍆) is used in texting for exactly what you are thinking!

Good

Cute. You've managed to convey a message in very few words. I don't think it has occurred to anyone to ask what Mother Nature wants. I'm not sure if egg plant is a play on words or if she actually wants the eggplant but it evokes an interesting discussion.

Thank you. It's not a play on words, but on anatomy. In phone emoji word, an eggplant is often used as a euphemism. 🦍

That sounds like a much more sophisticated and precise name than "eggplant"! Thanks Dolly, haha. 🦍

When I heard that you called this wonderful vegetable (eggplant) it put me off them! Ha ha ha, as aubergine sounds so much better, love Dolly x x x
