In keeping with <a href="http://cravenmaven.com/2012/03/i-keep-my-most-precious-heirlooms-in-the-fridge/"> this week's theme</a> I thought it only fitting to share a song titled Heirloom. The idea of a heritage piece, an heirloom is often quite desirable when it comes to family treasures. But what about ones food? The intense flavour and less-than-perfect-though-always-interesting shapes of heirloom vegetables make them something of great value in my eyes. It is ironic that something so good is physically quite often 'flawed' as it doesn't resemble the uniform shape of the produce from large agricultural cultivation.

To say that Bjork as an artist is something less than the norm is an understatement. Her voice and appearance is something so childlike, innocent and fantastical that she falls in a genre far from mainstream. Nevertheless, like heirloom produce, her work is strangely beautiful, palatable and special.
