I Don't think I am THAT difficult to buy for....BUT look what the missus fetched me back from her weekend in Newcastle ....
A GIANT ONION...NOT JUST ANY ONION, BUT A SHOW ONION!!!
I am in fact over the moon with it (sad but true) I am thinking of making some onion chutney, and maybe some onion soup...(the beer wasn't part of the gift, just to give an idea of size)
What would you do with it?!
