Music Monday - actually, Buddha's Hand

Not a music video, but fascinating description of of this funky Asian fruit that resembles hands, squid, or the head of Cthuhlu!

Crazy, isn't it? Saw one in person for the first time today when browsing the Asian market. They do smell divine. I brought home one that looks like an octopus. :-) Wanna see more scary Asian market finds?

Bin of 'fingered citrons'. 

Cthulhu head....

Double-layered jelly-fish?

Many, many large and frightening fish....

(of which you can purchase the frightening part only...).  There was every internal bit of pigs (even parts that I couldn't identify), dried and frozen bits of seafood, steamed purple tentacles of octopus, live lobsters, crabs and shellfish....

and of course, it wouldn't be a PNW Asian market if there wasn't a selection of our indigenous, vaguely obscene, geoduck (pronounced "gooey duck") clams...

I think they need at least a PG-13 rating... Maybe an R...? *shudder*

I used to have a Buddha HAnd tree (small) but it died in a frost.
