Photo of the Day: Eggplant Man
Photo from brooklynkitchen on Flickr
Something about his potbelly reminds me of the similarly rotund—and jovial—Kool-Aid Man. He looks pretty pleasant. One of those types always in the mood for a good barbecue or cold beer. Just don't confuse him with the eponymous Nintendo character, a foe of Mario and Luigi often sporting a metallic mask in the Wrecking Crew game.

That's terrific. Once I had an eggplant that looked just like Richard Nixon. No one would eat it.

Completely charming the pants off even the stoutest anthropomorphic food hater!...is it his jaunty little angle?
And wait--does this male eggplant have HIPS?
My kids found a strawberry that looked exactly like Gerard Depardieu recently. Cyrano de Strawberry:

An improvement over Nixon, but no one ate him either.
Produce's reputation has really benefited from the digital camera. Or maybe it's a plot to get us to sympathize too closely and eat more meat.
