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.

Deliciously beautiful, Jude.
Thanks Janet, we use them a lot in various recipes.
I love the colour of them, but hate eating them. Too ‘slimy’ for me! 🙂
Best wishes, Pete. x
They can be, but stuffed with mushrooms and spinach and crème fraiche is a nice way to eat them. Or ratatouille.
Nooo! Slimy! x
😂
Great idea to look for purple foods. 😀 😀
Here is my last entry for the month.
Gorgeous colour!
It is rather, we only get the almost black ones in the supermarkets but they come in many colours including white!
Lovely purple Jude! And yes! I have included one in my one and only purple contribution! Looking forward to the next challenge. Here is the link to my purple: https://hairbellsandmaples.com/2021/05/31/life-in-colour-photo-challenge-2021-may-purple/
Thanks Megan.
That link doesn’t work and I have searched your blog but can’t find it!
Oops! I think it was a delay in publishing? Could you try it again please? Hopefully it is working now! 🤞
Yup! Fine now. How weird!
I think I scheduled the publishing time later than what I should have…..🙃
Heehee… 😅
