What are these
Saw these among a fruit display in a shop in China. Anyone know what they are?

What you can't see clearly is whether the stalks are really growing out of the green thing or are just shoved in. The glad wrap on them seems to either cover/hide the point of connection or holds the stem in place to add some sort of verisimilitude to things.
If the stems are genuine, I'd suggest these are tomatoes grown in some sort of mold.
A second thought - if you look at the green things, you'll see they are in two halves with a line clearly showing the point of connection/joining. If the stems are genuine, then I'd suggest there are real tomatoes or something similar inside the 2 halves of the Buddha which is then glued together and wrapped in glad wrap so it doesn't fall apart.
Just my cynical thoughts.

Your second thought could very well be right Peter.
No, I don't suppose it does Ryan.

You know that moment when you say OH MY GOD it's a real thing ?

Took a while to find because as it turns out there's a fruit called Buddahs hand and Custard Apples are nicknamed Budddahs head.

the extra info and photos.
Sorry, not soap Jeremy.

The reason I thought soap and not veg is that these have a distinct "seam" down the actual side in the same place every time,

Good logical thinking Jeremy, but the seam is where the two halves of the mould meet.
