:D

That's quite an interesting expression actually.. :p
So am I correct in understanding this is 'to throw yourself into a field of eggplants' :confused: :D

Does anyone know more about the origin of this expression, and are there other expressions for this in Spanish, perhaps different in México, Chile, Argentina/ other Latin countries? :) Maybe a 'field of cacti' instead e.g....? :D

Well, I have seen what happens underneath an eggplant tree if the fruit are not harvested, and it can be a real mess. :eek:
