Food shaped like Mickey Mouse

by Bob Sassone, Posted Jul 28th 2007 @ 1:31PM

This is a little too Invasion of the Body Snatchers for my liking, but it's certainly interesting: vegetables shaped like Mickey Mouse.

It's part of what you'll find at the greenhouse exhibit The Land at EPCOT. There are Mickey pumpkins and Mickey cucumbers, all created through special ear-shaped molds that hang throughout the greenhouses. As you know, EPCOT stands for Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow, and this is part of the interesting experiments going on there. They're not really doing all of the things promised years ago (a real community, no cars, creating a modern world, etc), but some of the agriculture experiments continue.
