When aubergines moved to the English worlds it was still a small whitish fruit that resembled an egg, hence the name. Nowadays eggplants come in many different shapes and colours. Personally i love this Idian style brinjal with the pretty white streaks on deep purple and the big green calixes. Just a striking appearance and vey tasty also.
