I have a feeling that this could have been some "mind blowing" potato soup! Just another thing to keep a watch out for in the grocery store, ya know?

Customer from grocery store finds hand grenade hidden among potatoes

02/10/2012

The hand grenade, which dates from the Second World War, comes from a potato field that was a battlefield between 1939 and 1945.

A customer of a local grocery store in the Spanish town of Chiclana de la Frontera, (Cadiz) in southern Spain found inside a bag of potatoes a hand grenade from the Second World War.

According to Spanish news agency Europa Press quoting police sources, the grenade was petrified and looked like a potato.

The same sources pointed out that the field where the potatoes had grown, somewhere in the French border with Belgium, had been a battlefield between 1939 and 1945.

I have to wonder if the potato farmer is now going to be added to the "Farming Terrorists" list! You just never know, do ya? I mean, if you can't trust your potatoes...then who can you trust?

Coffee in the kitchen again. Don't worry...I've already defused all my spuds!
