The joke is meta, and like an onion, has layers.

As someone pointed out, it was 14 years old. Looks like I don’t know what makes British old men reach nirvana…

Pre-edit: Looks like something AI-generated, I don’t think even that size of onion could bring someone to such bliss.

Real guy, a true genius at growng big vegetables, but it's a very old story. I really want to see a photo of his record-setting longest parsnip, over 19 feet long.

Edit: He's now 81 or so, and still going strong-- just won big at Malvern.

I just want someone to look at me the same way this guy looks at his onion.
