A British man set a Guinness World Record at the Malvern Autumn Show with a colossal 13-pound celeriac. Graham Barratt, a resident of Gloucester, received official confirmation of the record on Thursday.
In an interview with BBC Radio, he said, "It's either weight or length for giant veg, but it's not beauty. Some of them are quite ugly." His humorous take highlighted the nature of growing giant produce.
Barratt showcased other impressive vegetables at the event.
He also presented a cucumber that narrowly missed the world record. "I weighed it today, and it weighed 29 pounds. The world record is 30 pounds," he mentioned. He added, "That's just how cruel the business is at times."
