Eggplant is a fun word

You were quite kind. I’d rather have an eggplant thrown at me than a stinky
durian.
I’ll just bet you didn’t mean to throw it at her.
And Konagod, a durian would be assault with a deadly weapon.
Durians aren’t slippery. They don’t go flying out of your hand and konking the people ahead of you on line. That’s nice about them.
Eggplant = aubergine IIRC. Fancy buying one of those in a supermarket. And slippery? Was it shrink-wrapped? (You might think I jest, but I have seen shrink-wrapped bell peppers in a supermarket here 8-/ It was right about then I started buying straight from farms and fruiterers.
Yes, an aubergine. They have slippery exteriors, kinda waxy.
Supermarkets in the U.S. sell all manner of vegetables and fruits. I just brought home a lovely pineapple.
I usually have problems with cans of cat food either “jumping” out of my hands or the cashiers. Not so much with jumping produce….
