Retuning home from work a few evenings ago, I was excited to see what treat my lovely wife had in store for me. All day she had been sending me messages, saying she had bought me the greatest gift. It went without saying that the gift was a food item (the way to this man's heart, is indeed through his stomach), and when I arrived home she opened the oven and the familiar aroma of onion bhaji came wafting out to greet me.
As my wife pulled the oven tray out though, I could see that this was no ordinary bhaji. It was a monster! Larger than my fist:
To try and put it into context a little better, I also took a photo of the bhaji next to a tin of baked beans:
Now I'm not a huge frequenter of curry houses, I like Indian food, but the majority of that I eat is takeaway. But this is the biggest onion bhaji I have seen (in the flesh so to speak). And larger than an apple, it was almost a meal in itself. Definitely something to brush your teeth after eating though!
I'm a fan of larger than average foodstuffs, and I'm an even bigger fan of people who make things as large as humanly possible. So needless to say, I've had a rummage round the internet to find the World's biggest onion bhaji.
The current record is held here in the UK, by a team who created their behemoth at Bradford College's International Food Academy (IFA). Their gigantic creation weighed in at 95kg, and measured almost a metre around the middle. Even the engineering department had to get in on the action, to help design bespoke cooking equipment!
Please aspiring record breaker out there, attempt to go one bigger. And let me come and help eating it!!
