A Tesco customer and his wife were left "rolling around laughing" after discovering an x-rated vegetable in their shopping.
Matthew Whitaker, 44, was in disbelief when he found the phallic-looking parsnip from the 19p bag of vegetables, leaving his wife Amy, 34, in fits of laughter.
It is the second time the dad-of-two has came across a rude veg after pulling out a carrot that looked like it had a tiny penis two years ago, the Liverpool Echo reports.
He said: "How lucky am I?
"I thought oh no, not again - why do these rude vegetables keep finding me?"
Matthew bought the bag of parsnips during his weekly grocery shop at the supermarket in Penzance, Cornwall, last week hoping to have them as a side with his dinner.
But when he returned home, he opened the bag to find a vegetable apparently shaped like male genitals.
Matthew and his wife of nine years Amy said they fell about laughing when they saw it.
Two years ago, the couple, of St Just in Penwith, Cornwall, found a carrot with a rude-looking appendage from a bag of shopping they'd had delivered from the same store.
Delivery driver Matthew said Amy, a support worker, called him into the kitchen to show him the hilarious X-rated find.
The couple usually buy wonky carrots, but their local store did not have any in when they ordered - and Matthew quipped they sent "winky" ones instead.
Matthew, originally from Bradford added: "We had a good laugh about it, it's the second time I've found a rude vegetable from the same Tesco.
"I guess it's just luck that I find the funny ones. I just need a rude swede now and I'll have a full set."
Matthew sliced the parsnip and the couple ate it on a roast dinner.
