I speak a fair amount of Spanish, enough so that when I hear Espanglish I just take it in stride. Was driving some Indian students around last week and chuckled to myself every time I heard a bit of Hinglish!
I'd never really eaten aubergine, maybe like twice in my life, until I lived in Spain for just 3 months and my housemates would always bring home berenjenas all the time. Even now, I can read the word 'aubergine' on a menu and in my heads little internal voice I hear the word 'berenjena'. It's just makes more sense to me, cos even though it wasn't a very long time that I was there, I probably ate/encountered 5000% more berenjenas/aubergines than I'd ever eaten in my entire life lol
Anyway, that was a super boring little tidbit of my brain,
