LONDON (Reuters) - Mozart will be turning in his grave next week when a
Viennese orchestra descends on London to make a meal out of playing the
carrot.

The First Vienna Vegetable Orchestra says it will cook up a storm with
its carrot flutes, leek violins, celery bongos and aubergine cymbals.

Supported by the occasional use of kitchen utensils such as spoons and
food processors, the orchestra has been a hit in its hometown Vienna.

The inspiration for veggie music came from listening to the sound of
vegetables being chopped.

Before each performance, the band tours local markets to find fresh
vegetables of just the right calibre and quality.

The gurkophone is one of their classics, made from a hollowed cucumber,
a pepper and a carrot.

Once the instruments are worn out, the musicians, and a conductor who
doubles as cook, toss each one into a stewpot to make soup -- to be
enjoyed by the audience after the concert.

The orchestra is due to play at the Purcell Room at London's South Bank
arts complex on Tuesday and Wednesday. A taste of their music is on
website www.gemueseorchester.org.

Is that real?

That soup would be disgusting - breathed and blown through sections of vegetables cooked up in one homogenous stew, all these people's saliva and essence in there...

Well me I like germs, etc. But I can think of better ways to eat disgusting things. Like at the golden arches. Or maybe some Hostess Twinkies, or those green Snowballs.
