Eggplant in fall

2004-08-27 | plant


Eggplants are still growing.

They are called 'eggplant in fall '; 'aki-na-su' in Japanese.

There is a famaous saying.
'Don't let a housewife eat eggplant in fall.'

There are two explanations.
1. When a woman eat eggplant, it will cool down her and she won't become pregnant.
2. As eggplant in fall is very delicious, a mother-in-law who don't like her doesn't let her eat eggplant.

The explanation No.2. seems to be general.

It is interesting, isn't it?
