That's a good question. I think it has to do with the fact that eggplants aren't mammels, and so therefore they must lay eggs right? I think so. Yes. That must be it.

The name eggplant in the United States, Australia, and Canada developed from the fact that the fruits of some 18th-century European cultivars were yellow or white and resembled goose or hen's eggs.

It could be a plant, but looks like a century egg.

I don't get why a hamburger is a hamburger when there is no ham in it. I guess it's so everyone can be confused. LOL.
