aka Mad Apple

Althea · January 8, 2007

I did not know Aubergine is another name for eggplant until just a few minutes ago seeing the new heading. So I looked in an online dictionary and found another synonym:

"The noun mad apple has 2 meanings:

Meaning #1: hairy upright herb native to southeastern Asia but widely cultivated for its large glossy edible fruit commonly used as a vegetable
Synonyms: eggplant, aubergine, brinjal, eggplant bush, garden egg, Solanum melongena

Meaning #2: egg-shaped vegetable having a shiny skin typically dark purple but occasionally white or yellow
Synonyms: eggplant, aubergine"

I'm going to go with "Mad Apple" from now on.

Should it be added to the topic heading?
