"A discovery while washing my carrots! I've been a carrot farmer for 10 years and this is the first time I've seen something this incredible!"
The result looks like a gigantic carrot flattened out into a triangle! Many on Twitter compared the crepe to a carrot, with it appearing that the orange body stuffed with leaves and stems. It just goes to show you that farming is full of surprises. People in the replies had fun with their impressions of what the deformed carrot looked like to them:
"It looks like a big nose with a lot of nose-hair."
"It's a vegetable crepe!"
"You could make merchandise out of this."
"It looks like Mr. Potato Head from Toy Story!"
