At Save-on-Foods about 2 years ago:

M: Do you have any aubergines?

Produce Isle Guy: Heh?

M: You know… purple bulbous thing that’s white on the inside. Aubergine.

PIG: I have no idea what you’re talkin’ aboot.

M: Right…. I’ll just go look for it myself.

Morten finds an aubergine right behind the Produce Isle Guy.

M: Here. This is an aubergine. See, it even has an aubergine colour.

PIG: Ah, an eggplant.

M: It’s an aubergine.

PIG: No, it’s an eggplant.

M: The name “eggplant” stems from a different type of plant bulb that was white. This one is the colour aubergine, thus the name “aubergine”.

PIG: Really?

M: Yes. You should change the sign.
