This news article is from September last year, so forgive me if it’s old news, but I’ve just stumbled on it (via the Innocent Smoothies newsletter) and we enjoy a food curio on the 5pm blog.  A farmer in China has developed moulds that force pears to grow into a baby Buddha shape.  Apparantly they’ve already been massively popular where they’ve been for sale in China, although they’re so cute it seems a shame to eat them.
