I love onion, much to the disappointment of anybody who stands too near either of my digestive openings. But anyway, I found the uber-recipe today: giant stuffed onion.
I really want to make it but it calls for one ingredient that I'm really struggling to comprehend:
1 giant onion (2.7kg/6Ib if possible)
That's one bastard onion from hell. Any ideas where one might purchase such a beast?

I've never seen such a thing, but I'd suggest just adjusting the recipe to the biggest onions you can find and making a few!

No idea, but I have to agree with Gnorb about the "bastard onion from hell" line. :) Good luck finding your onion, mate.

Yeah that's pretty much where we settled for now.
We did a few little ones each but it's a metric buttload of hassle trying to convince the centre of an onion to come out without the outer layers:
a) tearing,
b) crushing, or
c) falling apart when you try and stuff it.
We bought a "large" Spanish onion (about the size of a baby's head) at a market a few weeks back and en "elephant" garlic, both seen below next to a 2litre bottle of Cola:
As much as I'd love the 2.6kg one, we might attempt it with one of those - two if we have company - and see how that fares.

Oh, gosh, Oli.
I suspect that recipe to be a coming of age test for Spanish farmers. *winks*
