UPI – A British man set a new Guinness World Record with his massive 13-pound celeriac at the Malvern Autumn Show.
Resident of Gloucester Graham Barratt was officially informed this week that his root vegetable had claimed the title for the heaviest celeriac.
In an interview with BBC Radio, Barratt shared some humour about the world of giant vegetables: “It’s either weight or length for giant veg, but it’s not beauty. Some of them are quite ugly.”
Barratt also brought other impressive vegetables to the show, including a cucumber that came close to earning him another record.
“I weighed it recently, and it was 29 pounds. The world record is 30 pounds,” he said. “That’s just how cruel the business is at times.”
