Little known fact: When Chinese people take photographs, instead of saying the equivalent of "Say cheese!" to get their subjects to smile they say "Say aubergine!" In Chinese, of course. In Chinese, the (usually) purple delights are called  茄子 qié zi, which when pronounced correctly produces the same  cheesy (or eggplant-y or aubergine-y) grin.
