It's a Buddha's Hand Citron. Used more for it's aroma than for it's edibility.

Too funny! What the heck is that thing?

How bizarre!!
10/28/2007 11:46:25 PM
Now that's just weird. And a little washed out by the flash.

that is disgusting, i thought that was a bundle of bannannas, but it looks like a bunch of hands or squid tenticles. :P

Oh! Hope this is not in my backyard!
10/27/2007 10:50:45 PM
Your flash/lighting seems a bit harsh and overpowering. The fruit itself is very interesting. Perhaps taking this from a different angle to eliminage that blue background piece of making your composition off-centered would enhance your image.

Well done.. It's probably what a lemon would look like..

Oh, how I wish this could have been lit differently instead of with a direct on-camera flash.

Oh my word it looks like Davey Jones from Pirates of The Caribbean. Very clever shot and title. Definitely front page material

Hahaha! Hilarious title. Of course, we chefs know it's a "Buddha's Hand", an exotic Asian citrus :-)

haha ;-)
10/26/2007 12:15:05 AM
LOL, great caption! Is this really a lemon? A little diffusion on the flash would have been good.
