Picture: Now this really is a ‘root’ vegetable…

Even if you have seen this particular picture before, we’re sure you’ll agree that it’s definitely worth a second look. And a third. And a fourth…

Tweeted by none other than the great Stephen Fry, this picture of a mutant parsnip reeeeally reminds us of something but we just can’t put our finger on it.

Or rather, we don’t want to.

And surely because it was Mr Fry, the esteemed author, comedian, actor and board member of Norwich City Football Club who brought it to our attention, that means that the picture must have some sort of cultural and artistic meaning behind it, right?

Or else it’s just a vegetable that looks like a man’s cock.

You make up your own mind:
