I started a thread on this very topic ages ago and now I can't find it - there was a particularly good snap of a butternut squash with a copy of Hot Rats that I was rather pleased with.
Anyway, here's a picture of a very large carrot (now on its way to becoming most of a carrot cake) with CD insert for Nursery Cryme:
Can anybody beat that?

I never buy (root) vegetables. Do you accept wieners?

That's a rather personal question!!! Oh, I see what you mean .... - I suppose so, right now I'm trying to work out why I can't upload my latest prog/tuber image.

Thanks Dean - and I've also managed to upload my Tarkus/spud picture as well; I'm sure you'll agree that it's one of the best photos of an ELP CD surrounded by potatoes that you've seen all week!

The only camera I would be able to take a picture with and upload it has been missing for months. I would take a picture of CTTE with a nice green onion if I could.

Well literally several people have looked at the pictures I've posted so far, so I've decided to go for it and add another!
This time I've gone for that old favourite, a parsnip with Stand Up by Jethro Tull:
Beat that, fellow proggers!

Does my 35 year old Relayer vinyl that's nylon casing looks like it was splashed with a giant tomato count?

Ah yes - one of the great joys of autumn is finding humorously shaped root vegetables, and that's a splendid specimen. If only there was a copy of, say, A Farewell To Kings in the picture as well....

That's clearly someone with hairy, misshapen legs bending over to set something on the table for dinner only to have a drumstick up the backside
Dunno what a carrot is.

^ Is that the original carrot that came with the record? They're worth thousands now y'know.
..funny I was just listening to Brian Wilson's 'Vegetables', hilarious song. Nice to see this thread back.

Maybe you should follow up with Zappa's Call Any Vegetable, and then give Why Don't you Eat Carrots? by Faust a spin.
