But Palindrome doesn't start with an E. I seen the palindrome but was to dim to not figure out Elba. I was looking for another word for palindrome that started with an E.

Yes, but what you were guessing was the "it". Really it should have been punctuated as (quote) "Able was I ere I saw" it (unquote), but that type of clue often takes liberties with punctuation. Anyway, that makes it clearer why the answer was "Elba", not "palindrome".

If you're going to give one fill-in-the-missing-word clue as "The ____ has landed", then instead of "Able was I, ere I saw it", the clue should be "Able was I, ere I saw ___".

Historically, blacks were made from ebony, whites from ivory. Now though, they're both mostly made of plastic coated or enameled wood.

Without giving away a spoiler - The "Able was I..." quote was what Napoleon said when he saw the Isle to which he was to be exiled. It also (when the answer is added to the end) a palindrome (not a spoiler, but a major hint there).

Why it is knowledge too to know the english term? Though maybe yea ask for the american name of this purple vegetable. Cause I can imagine your brain skipping it.

It is aubergine in my country too, but I think ( and noticed) not being from the UK gives me more exposure to the american versions of things besides the british ones.
