Fun With Food?
How about some Buddha shaped pears? They’re kind of cute don’t you think?
I don’t know if I could bite into that though. Gao Xianzhang has managed to create what some would call the holiest fruits ever, pears shaped like Buddha.
Gao has been working on his pear-growing technique for six years and this season he managed to grow 10,000 Buddha-shaped baby pears. Each fruit is grown in an intricate Buddha mould and ends up looking like a juicy figurine. The ingenious farmer says the locals in his home village of Hexia, norther China, have been buying his Buddha pears as soon as he picks them from the trees. Most of them think they are cute and that they bring good luck.
Gao Xianzhang pears aren’t cheap, roughly $1.8 each, but their success in China convinced him to start exporting them into Europe.
We’ve also seen square watermelons, star and heart shaped cucumbers and various other things… If you’re interested in the cucumber molds you can purchase them here. Let’s not forget the Ice Invaders Ice cubes! Totally nerdy and totally cute. The tray is made from silicone and there are two different invader styles on the ice tray.
