PingMag did a cool feature on funny-shaped vegetables made by creative Japanese farmers. We all heard about the square watermelons, but did you know there are also pyramid-shaped ones and ones with faces on them? Here's living proof. This one was made in Fukuoka.
And remember the heart-shaped cucumbers?? Here, finally, are some pics of what it would look like in a salad...

It would seem ultra-creepy to start carving slices off a hard-shaped melon, then hand them out to the kiddies. With the RED interior, and all. Maybe these are made more for display than for dessert?
