Thanks xoB, from a German daily images site, the official caption:

A man dressed to turn heads strolls through the aisles at Anuga, the world's largest food-and-beverage trade fair, taking place in Cologne through Oct. 12. A veritable supermarket of information on food trends, exhibitors are divided into numerous, themed food-marketing groups: chilled foods, frozen foods, gourmet foods, fine foods, drinks, dairy, bread and bakers, health foods, etc. There is no one category for leafy green vegetables, but then again, this veggie-critter is in a class of its own.

Looks like he has to take a leek.

Clever. But it's been done before and better. Giuseppe Arcimboldo's work is in the Louvre.

I wonder how this thing "strolls" through the fair. I suspect the caption isn't accurate. It looks like a static display to me. I think it's neat though.

It makes me hungry for something...

And, for being a guy, isn't he dressed a bit frou-frou?

Okay, LJ...let's just leaf the puns out of this. Bad puns make me turn green.

No, really, its boquet. I really don't carrot all if you make bad puns.

peas stop.

but there's something so a-peel-ing about veggie puns...... even if they're ruined in text like that one.
..... cock

They do say a cucumber is better than a man . . .

DAMN!! Whew ... when I first saw that pic I thought I was having a bad drug flashback.

As for him walking through the fair, doesn't look to me like he's go the legumes for that kind of thing.

you'd probably want to ask tw about that. i wouldn't know.

Some how I forsee something related to Veggie tales coming soon ;o

I don't see the first goddam fig.

IMO fig leaves would more appropriately complete the ensemble. :lol:
