well, looks like I have white eggplants.....when I purchased the plants (about 2 inches high) they were just labeled "eggplant". I had never heard of a white eggplant until now. Found this:

Eggplants got their name because eggplants used to come in only one color - white. Hanging from the plant, they looked like eggs.

The original white eggplant is now very trendy. It is generally smaller than the purple variety, and a lot of people say it's more tender. White eggplants are also smaller and more firmly textured than the common purple eggplant. They are denser, creamier and less bitter, even though they can have more seeds. The skin of a white eggplant is tougher than purple eggplant and must be peeled. White eggplants are available seasonally.
