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.
