eggplants
- 1Plural of eggplant.
She sliced the eggplants and grilled them with a little olive oil.
Two glossy eggplants sat at the bottom of the basket.
Note
Nothing irregular here: the -s plural counts whole fruits or plants, as in three eggplants for the grill. It is the everyday name in the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the Philippines, where aubergines is the other word for the same thing. Take care out of context: the same plural can also carry a derogatory, offensive US slang term for Black people, so it should never be applied to people.
