God loves the ugliest vegetables. And creatures.

Last night, I was trying to remember the name of the ugliest thing from God’s lovely earth that I have ever seen, the geoduck (pronounced gooey-duck). I finally remembered it, but not before my Google Images search for “ugliest vegetables” led me to a whole mess of photographs of veggies that are so freakishly beautiful. No wonder these formerly underground bad boys have made a comeback. Hope this doesn’t offend anyone I’ve called “pretty” or “gorgeous” or, my personal fave when I’m really at a loss for words, “somethin’ else!”

Thanks for the root veggie photo Huff Post!

Freaky parsnip from Bedfordshire, England. Thanks treehugger.com.
