11/1/2005: Veggie man

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.

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:
