Meaning
A long, glossy purple eggplant with a green cap and stem. It represents the vegetable also called aubergine, used in curries, grills and stews.
Online it is widely known as a suggestive emoji, used as a phallic innuendo, so it reads cheeky in flirty chats; for actual cooking, adding a word helps. Example: “Grilled eggplant with spring onion oil for dinner tonight 🍆”.
