To find out more about this year’s photo challenge here on Travel Words, please read this post.
Aubergines / Eggplant / Brinjals are not to everyone’s taste, but to a non-meat eater they are often a substitute in many a meal. A ratatouille sauce – red onions, garlic, aubergines, courgettes, peppers and tomatoes, basil and thyme can be served with pasta, rice or just a hunk of crusty bread.
They come in all sorts of colours and shapes too. But despite the name I think this one is definitely purple!

Have You any Edible purples?
This is the last week for purple so get yours in before next Sunday when we move to a different colour.

Nothing edible in my purple pics but hey at leSt I met the deadlines – I hope
Oh, yes. Purple reigns until the end of the month 😁
And beyond (for me) heehee
The edible one I posted last week, this more for the last one in this month: https://geriatrixfotogallerie.wordpress.com/2021/05/30/purple-hour/
I looked forward to the colour of June.
Thanks Traudel. I have enjoyed all your purple offerings this month 😊
It was fun, thank you for your colored idea.
I love aubergine, but have never been very successful at cooking them. No great surprise, that! 🙂 🙂
We like them stuffed with mushrooms and spinach and creme fraiche.
Sounds lovely. Save me some 🤣💕
I’ve never heard of ‘brinjal’, a new whole word. Whatever you call them, I like them best as baba ganoush. 🙂
Brinjal is used in South Africa and India. I’m not too keen on baba ganoush, but maybe I should try making my own.
Such a shame that the gorgeous vibrant purple doesn’t make it to the baba ganoush!
Oh, I do love aubergines. Though I can’t help noticing this one is called Violetta. Ahem.
Yes, but it is purple! 😂 Maybe Italians only have one word…
Very good!
A pity we only see the same ones in the supermarkets. They come in lots of different shapes, sizes and colours.
I wasn’t aware that there was such diversity
stunning purple that one
I am glad you agree 😂
Wouldn’t dare otherwise 😉😘
Having a final rush of purple here, and sorry the month dashed by without more from me:
Have you got summer in Cornwall. It feels really hot here.
Yup. Summer has arrived along with thousands of tourists 😱
Oh dear. Invasion afoot.
And next week the G7 lot – going to be crazy around here! I think I need to stock up the freezer!
