Yep. The world’s biggest. 464.15g to be exact.
Grown in Waboomskraal, near Prince Alfred Hamlet by local farmers.
Well, who else was going to do it?
“I am extremely proud of our achievement. It is officially the biggest plum in the world and another feather in the cap for Waboomskraal,” Dean proudly wrote on his Facebook page after receiving the news that they have become the Guinness World Records title holder for the heaviest plum.
Another feather in the cap? That does suggest at least a first feather in the cap for Waboomskraal, and while PAH is a lovely place… mmm… I don’t know.
So that was Dean, the farmer. He’s the son of Deon. And Dean has a son called Wean. Of course he does.
This might sound funny, but it’s quite an Afrikaans thing. And I think that these guys are Afrikaans.
[picture some Afrikaans farmers in your head right now]
Aaaaand… Ta-dah!
I can also (like to) guess what card you’re thinking of. But… probably somewhat less successfully.
The world’s biggest plum, then.
Not quite as big as the world’s biggest potato, (wow, 16 (sixteen) years ago) but then, it wouldn’t be, would it?
