- Title: “Pregnant Pepper”
- Media: Momma Pepper. Baby Peppers
- Submitted by: Heather S.
- Heather writes: "After I cut the top off of the seemingly normal pepper, I noticed a tiny baby pepper nestled all snugly in it's peppery womb. Upon removing the poor thing, I noticed that it was not one baby, but two- conjoined twin baby peppers. This whole thing was too traumatizing for me, and I couldn't bring myself to eat the mamma pepper or the baby peppers. To date, the pappa pepper has not been identified." Twin baby peppers! Mazel tov!
- Title: “Chilipeno Tumor”
- Media: Chilipeno. Radiation?
- Submitted by: Luke (Seattle, WA)
- Luke writes: "Long have I dreamed of discovering something worthy of submission to the Museum of Food Anomalies, and today that dream came true when I absent-mindedly reached in to a bag of Penny's Chilipeno Corn Chips and found a fried cornmeal tumor almost the size of my palm."
- Title: “Happily Oblivious Ice Cream”
- Media: Ice Cream. Misunderstanding.
- Submitted by: Jennifer R.
- A quart of ice cream seemingly enjoying it's freedom from the canister. It clearly has no idea what's coming next.
- 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: “Freaky Twiglet”
- Media: Twiglet Triplets
- Submitted by: Marc & Sarah
- I don't even know what a Twiglet is, but how often do you see head-to-tail conjoining?
Oh, a Twiglet
- 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.
- 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.
- 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...
- 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.
