Or moussaka Callistemon I just looked up the origin of the word.

When life gives you aubergines, make baba ghanoush

Does an aubergine really resemble any thing? Any body part with that shape and a twirly bit at the end needs medical attention.

Very strange.

That's the first time I've seen a thread about them. Didn't know it was verboten.

I have no idea what was taken down.

My leetle grey cells tell me that it was the thread about 'the media' using horrible language to describe the children of a minor royal. It all got rather childish, with aubergine emojis being used as insults, and apostrophes all over the place. I got bored at that point and stopped reading, but if it carried on like that I don't know why it would be pulled.

Oh that thread. When I last looked at it, it had become very lighthearted/risque. Not to mention the apostrophes!

Just been to Tesco's. I did buy an aubergine. Subliminal messaging?

I need to buy more aubergine’s for my lasagne.

Callistemon21 Thu 29-Sep-22 11:38:48

Sharp intake of breath!

We have a glut of courgette's.

Prentice Thu 29-Sep-22 11:36:46

Would anyone care for some banana’s or grape’s?

Still, I think most posters managed to get their messages across, probably not much more to say.

I still think the wandering apostrophes were irritating.

Of course! They were greengrocers' apostrophes ?

Sounds like the latest Monday Morning thread.

I think you are correct Casdon and also MawtheMerrier
It is what happens when stirring on a thread because a few posters do not like it when others do not agree with them.
If this is the case then it is a shame, as genuine thoughts were expressed without any rancour.

Casdon

I’m guessing it’s the latest Meghan thread?

It was about vegetables.
Or are they fruit?

Yup, MM again.

The Funeral coverage ?
