2/16/2003: Vegetable orchestra

These are just a few of the instruments used by the First Vienna Vegetable Orchestra. Aside from foods, the orchestra allows itself the use of kitchen implements, but that's it.

Are they serious? Of course! Here's the Yahoo News link:

And here's the group's site:

http://www.gemueseorchester.org

According to the story, after the concert the "used" instruments are tossed into a big ol' pot and cooked up into a soup that is enjoyed by the audience.

That's the only part of the story I'm not down with. It's just not hygenic. I don't see any spit valves on this stuff.

If only the EU allowed genetically engineered food, they could really fill out the orchestra nicely.

And another thing: I don't see any beans here, and everyone knows they are the musical fruit. The more you eat, the more you toot.
