eggplant
Moussaka's purple heart
Eggplant is a large, egg-shaped vegetable with glossy purple skin and spongy white flesh.
It's a staple in Mediterranean and Asian cuisines—baba ghanoush, ratatouille, eggplant parmesan.
The flesh absorbs oil readily and turns creamy when cooked.
In British English, the vegetable is called aubergine.
As slang, the eggplant emoji suggests a penis.
