The statue was built to honour the “spunta”, an abnormally long potato
(Picture: Twitter)A potato statue has been erected in the Cypriot village of Xylofagou - and people can’t seem to see past its phallic shape.
Named “The Big Potato”, the intention was to pay homage to the area’s abnormally long potatoes, also known as a “spunta.” They are grown in a group of villages known as the Kokkinochoria, or Red Villages, famed for growing fresh vegetables in red soil.
