why are americans so dumb with their fruit and vegetables names? why would they call an aubergine an "eggplant"? because it resembles an egg, but is a plant? fucking hell.

except its interesting. the way americans label their food trivializes it, because it substracts the language root of it.

thats why they pour their food full of sugary sauces, because they dont have any respect for it.

Nope, still don't give a shit.

'Aubergine' is derived from the Sanskrit word for 'eggplant' after being transferred through Arabic and Catalan to English

>peepee friction pleasure
literal kek

>The English use of "aubergine" is derived from the French aubergine, a diminutive of alberge, "a kind of peach".
>make fun of american for calling it eggplant
>you basically call it peachplant

>why would they call an aubergine an "eggplant"? because it resembles an egg, but is a plant?
that's pretty much how people got words for everything

>why do americans
i know americans are super interesting but you can research the etymology of words and find out why things are named the way they are. you just posted this thread to go "HEY GUYS AMERICANS SUCK AMIRITE??" and i believe you could find a better use of your time :)

but i call it Berenjena, that comes from 'Solanum Melongena' which literally means "black fruit of the sun". way more stylish, poetic and cultured than your """"eggplant""""".

>>7500744
But it's not black, it's """"""""""purple.""""""""""

The point: eggplant is purple, not black. It may be """"""""""stylish,"""""""""" """"""""""""poetic"""""""""" and """"""""""cultured,"""""""""" but it is simply wrong.
