Eggplant

I grew up hearing that the Spanish equivalent was something else, but a query against a dictionary app I have uses the word "berenjena". What is an eggplant called in Mexico?

You are right, BERENJENA is the correct word in Spanish:

Just wondering why there is a need to have so many different names for the same plant.

wessongroup - 8-30-2016 at 05:44 PM

Depends if one uses the "common name" or the scientific

Solanum melongena

Have always liked "it" ... :):)
