The world's largest onion
Incredible but true! Until 2014, Pete Glazebrook held the record for the world's largest and heaviest onion, but Tony Glover has done even better, narrowly beating him with this specimen measuring 82 cm at its widest point and weighing 8.47 kg. That's enough to make onion soup for 36 people.
