Anthropomorphic Parsnips
After growing a few of my own vegetables, I'm starting to notice something about the store bought ones....they are kinda boring. All uniform and perfectly shaped, they are. It makes me wonder, what happens to the "nonconformists"? Do they even exist for conventional farmers? If so, what happens to them? Perhaps someone is pulling them off the veggie conveyor belt and tossing them out. I hope not. They make me smile. Take this pair, for example:

I agree with you wholeheartedly Jackie! Wonderful! Love to eat veggies with unique morphing. Great post! Carol
Jackie, just love them.
Oh, so cute! Good eye, Jackie!
They must get made into soup, don't you think? Like trimmings and such?
It's fun to have all kinds of interactions with your own food.
I always love seeing one of these when I pick carrots (I don't grow parsnips), but more than that I get annoyed because it means more work in the kitchen. I mean if you are going to be a non conformist, they all can't be like that.
These two carrots reminded me so much of your blog that my post today quotes you! Check it out. :-)
Glad ya'll like my cute little parsnips! Stefaneener, I think you may have it...soup. That's a fine fate to have!
