"Ooh I think I've broken something!" (Humongous carrots)

The carrots in this country are massive.  I mean seriously, check out these photos of an average Korean carrot - with a Lord of the Rings carrot alongside for scale:


Does that or does that not look like something Merry and Pippin would have come away with after having "been into Farmer Maggot's crops"?  That or Giant Despair's "grievous cudgel"... either way, I'd say it definitely falls under the "oversized" heading.

Also in produce... I saw apples selling for 2,000 won each the other day (almost 2 bucks.)  A cantaloupe goes for 14,000!

    And he's a hobbit, so your carrot is actually even bigger than it looks. Good show, sir. Good show.
