TN State Fair - Misfit Vegetables

Thinking back to the classic Christmastime special, Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer and the Island of Misfit Toys, There is a place at the State Fair for Misfit Vegetables. It's called the Most Unique Shape contest. As you can see, the blue ribbon winner was these three irregular potatoes.

Happy Thanksgiving!

If there's one fair contest that reminds me of Thanksgiving, it's the "cornucopia design" contest. A traditional cornucopia has the look of an ornamental container, usually shaped like an over-sized animal horn, overflowing of fruits and vegetables. Those ingredients can make large meals on days like today.

Hopefully, you have the day off and you don't have to fill your briefcase full of vegetables, like this cornucopia design shown here. This was entered at the Lincoln County Fair in 2010.
