Are there different kinds? No, I mean that one would encounter in a
normal nonupscale routine nonspecialty supermarket? I don't think I've
*seen* any, but I haven't looked for one in many years. (Until I got one
the other day.)

Regular sized ones, mutant large ones, Japanese ones... those are just the
three types *I'm* aware of but I think there are others? Probably a lot
like sharks, eh?
The Japanese ones are lighter purple and enlongated.

Thai eggplant are different than the ones USians usually see in the regular
supermarket - they are green, round and smallish.
