It's weird because the legend it comes from is off the wall. It is based off the myth the "Vegetable lamb of Tartary." The legend goes that there were little lambs that were attached to a plant stalk and grazed around the stalk. When they grazed all the other plants it would die. One of the weirder myths to be sure. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetable_Lamb_of_Tartary
