Tomato with cheese and quackers for lunch: Fruit looks like a little rubber duck
This is the bizarre sight of a tomato that looks just like a little rubber duck.
Keen gardeners Eric and Diane Hinchliffe discovered the strange looking fruit growing alongside ordinary looking tomatoes in their green house.
Far from being awe-struck by the oddly-shaped foodstuff, the grandparents, of Bourne, Lincolnshire, simply cut it up and enjoyed it in a salad for their tea.

Bathtime favourite: Typical rubber duck
Retired electrician Mr Hinchliffe, 78, said: 'At first I thought it was just two tomatoes stuck together but when I looked at it closely I noticed it had a body, a tail, a beak and a collar.
'I grow a lot of vegetables, cucumbers and lettuce but I’ve never seen anything like this before. It was the highlight of the day.'
Mrs Hinchliffe, 68, added: 'I took a picture because it just made me smile. It’s Donald Duck down to a tee.' |
