Giant Limousin

This one is reputed to be the most productive of all the old French traditional varieties. It is famous for reaching 10 – 12 inches diameter, but to be honest, from a purely practial point of view, you might prefer them a bit smaller as Ben is holding on the left. 

We did try them leaving them to get bigger – and the one in the photo on the right was perfectly tender even at that size! We found this one to have a fantastic flavour that was a bit less ‘turnipy’ and subtly different from all the others.

Edible even when huge!
