Love Carrots and Other Vegetables

Happy Quince

I picked this quince the other day and stewed it with some apples… I thought the little nobule made it look like it had a nose and a smiley face, perhaps, with the merest hint of a ‘tache.

As you can see from the picture, it doesn’t appear to be too worried about being eaten. It was very tasty, too.

Love Runners…

A rare sighting in the world of vegetable love, here is a pair of love beans, runner beans to be precise.

Take a few moments out of your busy day to join me in enjoying this unusual occurrence of the natural world. Mmm…

Two splendid pictures from Mark Bacola of another well endowed carrot. Definitely a boy this one and very possibly a cross dresser. In the first picture it looks remarkably as if the end of one “leg” is sporting a carroty stiletto… Hmm…

Says Mark

“Imagine my surprise when I yanked this bad boy out of the ground. Perhaps it was the fertilizer. I ask women if they’d like to see my carrot, no, really; they never believe me.

“How do I preserve this gem for posterity?”

Well, Mark, I suggest pickling it… Readers, help Mark out here, how can he preserve his bad-arse carrot for ever?

Mark’s carrot with a big one…

Mark’s carrot with a big one, close up!

Potato Duck

Here we have a lovely potato which looks like a duck…

I am assured it even had a beak originally but this had rotted off by the time I got there with my mobile phone camera. Nonetheless, ducky enough for a post I think.

Enjoy.

I must apologise for the image quality. Sadly, even though I have recently upgraded to a new phone with a higher resolution camera than my previous one, the automatic focus is a little idiosynchratic. Never mind, at least now I know how tramps who have got themselves blind drunk on Meths and Nokia’s camera designers see the world.

Elvis the Pimento…

Another submission from Risto here, a Pimento with a positively cartoonish Elvis Quiff. Or if you turn it on its side… is it er hem… a well endowed pimento. I’ll leave you to decide.

Thank you very much (uh huh huh) Risto…

Enjoy..
