Very Big Food

Photo by the Northernmost Jew

It seems the long hours of daylight in Alaska produce some enormous vegetables. My friend the Northernmost Jew is down from Deering to visit the balmier climes of Anchorage, where she beheld the biggest kohlrabi the world has ever known at the Alaska State Fair. Look at more giant food here. (Or see some teeny tiny food here).

Who knew you could grow all this stuff in Alaska? And have a look at the food guide to the fair--a perfect example 21st-century regionalism: Hawaiian this, Cajun that, and reindeer hotdogs.
