Meatless Monday: Celery Makes A Great Nose Flute, Watch!
When your parents told you not to play with your food, they left out the rest of the statement. It actually goes, "Don't play with your food, unless you're going to entertain us." Enter: Junji Koyama, a Japanese vegetable musician who plays with as much passion as fiber and other nutrients. Watch as he plays a nursery rhyme on the celery nose flute, then check out his YouTube page for other performances and how-to guides for making various ocarinas, whistles, bagpipes and other edible woodwinds. That's right: bagpipes. Best of all? Koyama's videos are subtitled, so you won't miss a beet.
