Grown
By Peter Glazebrook, UK Man and Weighs Almost 18 Pounds
On Friday, UK man
Peter Glazebrook, 67, set a new world record for the world's biggest onion by
entering a 17 pound, 15 ounce monster in the Harrowgate Autumn Flower Show's
annual World Onion Championship. His gigantic onion trounced 2005's record
holder for the world's biggest onion, which weighed in at a mere 16 pounds, 8
ounces.
Glazebrook won £1500
($2560) for his onion. He also holds world records for gargantuan potatoes,
beets and parsnips, undoubtedly evidence of some kind of nefarious pact with
the subterranean world. One question remains: What does one cook with over 17
pounds of onion? A gigantic sofrito? An XL deep-fried onion flower?
In case you're
curious, the Yorkshire Post has a
strange video of the Flower Show at which the new world's biggest onion record
was announced. Only in England!
Here are a few
photos of Glazebrook holding his record onion in various postures of
excitement.
