What are these things?!

In the fashion of these people [who] are crazy I had an interesting encounter at Jewel-Osco [grocery]. I was doing my once-per-two-months shopping trip to buy ingredients for my world-famous dinners. When I was in the check-out lane, I was putting the last items on the conveyor belt when the cashier interrupted with this question:

"Um, excuse me...but what are these things again? Are they brussel sprouts? sorry!"

"..."

Isn't it awesome that the people who work at the grocery store do not have the ability to identify the very products that whiz past them every day? Either way, the bag boy[man] and I had a good laugh about that one. But the question remains to be answered. It is a fanciful question... WHAT ARE THESE THINGS?

I could answer it, but I'll let you be the judge!
1-pt for a correct answer
2-pts for compliments on my photogenic qualities
5-pts for the most creative identification efforts

go!

The most fun part of this post [for me] is when I asked Lucas to come down stairs and take my picture, he took a glance into the kitchen and when his eyes caught the green items in question, he asked with a wild wonder in his eyes..."hey, what are those things?"
