A phallic-looking statue erected to honour the potato produce of a Cypriot village has drawn ridicule on social media.  

The suspicious spud was installed on Wednesday in the village of Xylofagou near Ayia Napa in Cyprus. 

Xylofagou is among a group of villages known as the Kokkinochoria, or Red Villages, which are famous for growing vegetables, particularly potatoes, in red soil.
