@Yvonne Smith , is close enough that she gets the surprise. I was peeling a potato and cut this imperfection out. When it was out, I thought, "That looks like an eye." And the rest is history.
This one looks like some kind of monstrous worm crawling out of a potato. See what an exciting life I have? And before you think I'm a loonie, the voices assure me that I'm not.
Well, I feel dumb!!!! I live in potato country and had a baked potato for dinner last night and couldn't even get it after the eye clue. Well, at least our former North Idaho girl is the winner of the great spud mystery. I hesitate to mention I see truckloads of spuds every harvest season and can even ID the ones that fall off the trucks and get run over, yet Shirley's mutilation left me clueless. Apparently, Shirley's mama never scolded her for playing with her food.
Well, after looking at the picture again, I'm going to hold out for "fruit pit." That must be an alien potato.
