A woman in a town near Naples got an unwelcome surprise when she bought a sack of potatoes at a nearby market, put them into water to peel and discovered one of them was a hand grenade apparently left over from the Second World War.

Olga Mauriello had put the potatoes in a vat of water and had just begun peeling them Tuesday when she found the explosive, covered in dirt, police said yesterday.

An alarmed Mauriello, 74, called neighbours, who in turn called police.

Officers detonated the grenade in a park yesterday, state police said.

The grenade was believed to have travelled with the potatoes from France, the ANSA news agency reported.

Hi Jesse-Joe,

That looks and sounds scarey.
Just in case I think I will search my bags of potatoes when I bring them home. :)

Thank you for sharing.
