Solanum ovigerum Dunal
Solanum trongum Poir.
and see textThe eggplant, aubergine, or brinjal (Solanum melongena), is a plant of the family Solanaceae (also known as the nightshades) and genus Solanum. It bears a fruit of the same name, commonly used as a vegetable in cooking. As a nightshade, it is closely related to the tomato and potato and is native to India and Sri Lanka. It is a delicate perennial often cultivated as an annual. It grows 40 to 150&_160;cm (16 to 57 in) tall, with large coarsely lobed leaves that are 10 to 20&_160;cm (4-8 in) long and 5 to 10&_160;cm (2-4 in) broad. (Semi-)wild types can grow much larger, to 225&_160;cm (7 ft) with large leaves over 30&_160;cm (12 in) long and 15&_160;cm (6 in) broad. The stem is often spiny. The flowers are white to purple, with a five-lobed corolla and yellow stamens. The fruit is fleshy, less than 3&_160;cm in diameter on wild plants, but much larger in cultivated forms. The fruit is botanically classified as a berry, and contains numerous small, soft seeds, which are edible, but are bitter because they contain (an insignificant amount of) nicotinoid alkaloids, unsurprising as it is a close relative of tobacco.

6. How To Cook Your Favorite Sunday Dinner

From as far back as I can remember there have been special church occasions when dinner on the church grounds was the order for the day.

It may seem odd but I have traveled all over the country and lived in many different areas of the culture. One thing that seems constant no matter where I live is that someone inevi... (read more)
