Xmas: Church backs depiction of Jesus by a carrot and approve 5-a-day nativity presentation

Ah, the spirit of Xmas is still with us as is the green and healthy movement.

A fruit and vegetable nativity scene that depicted baby Jesus as a carrot has been given the church's blessing.

Tulleys Farm, in Turners Hill, near Crawley, West Sussex, also used onions for the heads of Mary and Joseph.

Rude Fruit
This has nothing to do with the English love of all vegetable that are in the shape of genitalia or other potentially rude objects. No, this is about everyday, random pieces of vegetables and fruit.

The Dutch View
If this had been a Dutch presentation then I would have expected the vegetables to be past their sell by date and unfit for human consumption. The Dutch would not approve of this frivolous waste of good products that could be transferred into profit.

They would use wax fuit and veg for this or certainly some 'carrot' substitute and if you are going to fake it, then you may as well make it look like baby Jesus, toch!

Religious Comment
One visitor labelled the representation as "offensive" but Rev Gordon Parry, the local vicar, has given it his backing and invites everyone back to the vicarage for a big mug of vegetable soup after Xmas! Bless.

Suggestions please
How to portray the 3 wise men, or magi (isn't that the name of a vegetable stock cube?)

Also we need suggestions for fruit that looks like an ass (not your ass, or your mother's ass, so that rules out peaches and watermelons) and, more tricky, a camel!

Pumpkin carvers and vegetable totem sculpturers, need not apply, cos that's just weird!
