TIL what the hell "arugula" is

It's Rocket

Also an "eggplant" is an aubergine, and a "zucchini" is a courgette

The fuck is with the americans constantly using weird names for food

@troubleMoney listen, none of those names are any less weird than the others, ok? ok

@Efi THEY CALL IT AN EGGPLANT

IT ISN'T AN EGG, IT'S A BIG PURPLE THING

CALLING IT AN EGGPLANT MAKES NO GODDAMN SENSE

@troubleMoney You're right, we should call it, "BIG PURPLE THING"

@troubleMoney @Efi well I mean...they used to look like eggs before humanity cultivated them to be bigger, more palatable, and with more fruit yield. They were small, egg shaped, and white when they were wild.

@Nine @Efi only one specific cultivar is small and white, the yanks call all of them eggplants
