  • Title: “Heart-Warming Tomato”
  • Media: Tomato. Hurt feelings. Time.
  • Submitted by: Sergio V.
  • Sergio sends in this tomato in the shape of a heart. It looks as if it had been broken at one time, but is healing nicely. Hearts are like that.

  • Title: “Pan Face”
  • Media: Oil. Pan. Painful Memories.
  • Submitted by: Nancy & Simon H.
  • Is this really a "Food Anomaly"? No, probably not. But, I once dropped a cast iron pan onto my face & made an expression very much like the one depicted here in oil. That's worth something, I guess.

Strawberry Fan

  • Title: “Strawberry Fan”
  • Media: Strawberry. Novel concept.
  • Submitted by: Silvia S.
  • Oh sure, strawberries seem particularly prone to malformation, but this distorted berry presents an idea for the untapped market of berry-based household products. This version is an edible fan. See it now? Yes, it will be a brilliant product.

  • Title: “The Grapetacular Experiment”
  • Media: Grapes. Extreme Market Competition.
  • Submitted by: Steve P. (Bluffton, South Carolina)
  • Feeling pressure from the popularity of other fruits on the market, the L.G.C. (Large Grape Conglomerate) has been experimenting with a new grape-based product that it hopes will steal some customers from the lucrative A.P.O.P. (apple, pear, orange and papaya) demographic. Intrepid photographer, Steve P., went to great lengths to obtain these images of this confidential fruit prototype. Good work Steve.

strange cherry

  • Title: “Strangely Strange Cherry”
  • Media: Cherry. Oddity.
  • Submitted by: YuYu
  • I don't even know what to make of this cherry. It's not especially odd, but something about this seems just bizarre enough to make it into the MoFA. Maybe, one day, I'll unlock the secrets of this image... just maybe...

Happy Eggs

  • Title: “‘I Won’t Cure Your Hangover’ Egg”
  • Media: Egg. Heat. Hope.
  • Submitted by: Nick P.
  • Nick P. awoke with a hangover & the belief that a fried egg would provide a cure. From the pan, Nick found this face mockingly smiling a warning that no such cure was in sight. The egg, it turns out, was correct.

cucucumber.jpg

  • Title: “Cu-Cu-Cucumber!”
  • Media: Cucumber. Mad Science.
  • Submitted by: Elen O.
  • Clearly, this cucumber is evidence of a strange & mad science occurring somewhere in the world. Elen didn't mention such a device, but I am certain that the once-impossible MERGING RAY is being tested within Elen's greenhouse. What merged-vegetable madness does the future hold?

peppermint skull

  • Title: “Peppermint Candy Skull”
  • Media: Small Candy-based creature. Sans everything but a skull.
  • Submitted by: Theresa
  • A fine dinner. A sweet mint to cleanse the palate. Something awry. Was it a mint at all? Or has she half-consumed a tiny, candy creature -- leaving only a skull as evidence of its remains?
