The Museum of Food Anomalies™ is an online exhibition of real food gone horribly wrong.

The Museum of Food Anomalies presents:

Heaven Potato

Slicing into a potato, this visitor found a symbol that very, very loosely resembles the Mandarin (Chinese) symbol for “Heaven” — or, so the photographer claims.

Potato. Questionable Mandarin Script.

    It bears a far greater resemblance to the character for “great” or “large” (although my first impression, to be honest, was that it looked more like the character for “cave”).

    Also, Mandarin is a spoken language. Chinese characters are used for writing Mandarin, but they are not a “Mandarin script.”

    I agree with Charles, it resembled “large” much more. Shea, how good a look did you get?
