Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
When you're reading Slashfood, the chances are good that any food pictures you are going to see are either tempting or , at the very least, interesting. Disturbing pictures of food items don't show up very often, and we're glad for that, but this tomato from Boing Boing deserved a mention for sheer strangeness. Those folks think that this Japanese-grown tomato, which is about three times the size of a normal "Momotaro" tomato, looks like it has a face.
My general feeling is that, while I wouldn't go so far as to say the face has any human characteristics, it does bear a slight resemblance to Audrey II from The Little Shop of Horrors. As much as I like the unusual shapes and sizes that heirloom tomatoes come in, this particular tomato is not one I would want to eat if I found it in my garden.

I have seen some ugly tomatoes in my long lifetime but that one is the ugliest ever.

I have some truly hideous cucumbers growing in my garden. That's a good start for gnarly gazpacho -- we can start a whole new food fad and call it the "ugly food movement" or something like that. What do ya' all think?
