Monster veg: Jimmy Hill, 53, planted his cabbage seeds in May and watched in disbelief as the mammoth vegetables grew to span an incredible 5ft in width

It is not his first bumper crop and in previous years he and wife Jackie, 51, have run out of ideas about how to eat them.

'I like them and my wife is a wonderful cook but I have to admit there are only so many ways you can cook them, so I reckon we'll give them away to neighbours.

'People say I should enter shows but for me it's just a hobby.'

You can also cut up chunks of homemade bacon, called lardons, to lard poultry before roasting, to add flavor to stews and soups or even to augment your salads.

Perfect Thin and Crisp French Fries

How to Make Perfect prepare Thin and Crisp French Fries McDonald's french fries are great recipe. At their best, they are everything a french fry should be: salty, crisp, light, and not greasy. Granted, you get the occasional odd franchise that lets'em sit under the heat lamp for a couple hours too long, but on the whole, I find it remarkable that the bigwigs have discovered a way to create a frozen fry that even a one armed eyeless chimp has trouble screwing up. And I know, because they've got one working the fry station at the franchise on my corner.

To be absolutely honest, I've never been able to make fries as good as theirs (shhhhh!). Sure, my thick-cut pub-style fries are super-potatoey and fantastic, and when I'm in the mood for them, my seasoned steak fries can't be beat, but for thin, super-crisp fries (I'm talking the kind that only appear in fast food restaurants and French bistros under the name frites)? I'm always better off running down to the take-out window than bothering to fry them myself at home.

World custard pie championship

Fifty competitors have been clowning about in the 43rd world custard pie championships in Kent.

Teams at the event, in the village of Coxheath near Maidstone, were given maximum points for throwing a pie squarely into their opponents' faces.

Judges also awarded up to five points for the most original and amusing throwing techniques.

This year's champions were the High Pressure Cleaning team who beat last year's winners Coxheath in the final.

The championships were started in 1967 by Councillor Mike FitzGerald to help raise funds to build a village hall.

The idea for the charity event came from a Charlie Chaplin comedy, Behind The Screen.

Mr FitzGerald said it has proved such a success teams had entered from as far afield as Germany and South Africa.

He said: "I think people just like to give vent to their feelings and have a lot of fun.

"A lot of people come from office jobs and are pleased to get outside.

"You get bankers and people who work in building societies and they just like to let go.

"They dress up for it as well so people don't know who they are."

The pies do not actually contain custard, but are made using a secret recipe.
