Taro Pie

McDonald's Sweet Taro Pie, China
Thought the American cardboard box apple pies were horrifying?  Meet their creepy Chinese cousin. Taro, a starchy, Chinese root vegetable, is shoved inside a deep-fried, crusty pocket, somehow presented as a dessert, and the crowd goes wild. Similar to a Hot Pocket, except filled with a lavendar-hued soupy mixture, the Taro pie is a feast for the eyes.  Only the eyes. [Photos via, via]
