A giant root vegetable earns a world record

2024-10-19
Gloucester resident Graham Barratt broke a Guinness World Record for heaviest celeriac, with his 13-pound root vegetable.

`It`s either weight or length for a giant veg, but it`s not beauty. Some of them are quite ugly,` Barratt joked in an interview.

Barratt also brought other giant vegetables to the Malvern Autumn Show, including a cucumber that was just short of earning him a second record.

`I weighed it today, and it weighed 29 pounds. The world record is 30 pounds,` he said.
