Most of the carrots I grow wind up looking like pants or ginger roots and I've definitely seen a few tomatoes from the garden who could be called Pinnochian. Fruits and veg in nature are rarely the uniform beauts you buy at Whole Foods. The weirdos have all been winnowed out by the time they hit the markets.
Artist Uli Westphal has a lovely series of photos documenting all the unusual shapes that produce can grow into if allowed.
The Mutato Project is interesting for anyone with an artistic eye or who has gardened, but also strikes a chord with anyone who has shopped for fresh produce.
