Description

Shot at the grocery store tonight and liked the weird cut ends. My librarian pal was over to watch an old BW 1950's movie with me and said they look like amputations.....a gross but interesting observation. “Erection is chiefly caused by parsnips, artichokes, turnips, asparagus, candied ginger, acorns bruised to a powder drunk in muscatel.” Aristotle (Ancient Greek Philosopher, Scientist and Physician, 384 BC-322 BC) :)

Those are interesting bump patterns on the asparagus ends - well seen & captured. Sounds like Aristotle did extensive research on the subject of erections, though my personal experience is that erections are "chiefly caused" by sexual arousal...
