He Shou Wu

It's just a root.

Interesting vegetable - but don’t understand the “overgrown appendage” bit. The ears maybe? ;)

...Lu Chen believes the obscene shaping of the root is a sign his farm will produce a good harvest next year.

Either that or he's really screwed.

Welsh gardener Sue Smith recently unearthed two cuddling carrots in her allotment and has decided to display the 'in love' carrots in her kitchen, rather than eating the lovebirds.

The Brits sure grow some dirty vegetables over there.

Occasionally crazy people and some businesses (usually hotels looking for some novelty gismo) will buy things like “grilled cheese Jesus” and “Lincoln peanut”. If that farmer were smart he’d look to do the same and make himself a tidy sum.

I have a suspicion that the root was grown on a mold much like the square watermelons the Japanese farmers incorporate.

My dad raised ginseng in the 50’s and sold it to Korea, China, whatever, because it came out of the ground looking like a human. They paid well, back then, especially for the real obscene ones. I think this is the same thing.
