Stumble It!That’s some potato..
Khalil Semhat, a Lebanese farmer has dug up what is reported to be the worlds largest potato – weighing in at 11.5kg.
“This giant weighs 11.3 kilos (24.9 pounds),” Khalil Semhat told the AFP news agency at his farm near Tyre, 85 kilometres (50 miles) south of Beirut.
“I’ve been working the land since I was a boy, and it’s the first time I’ve seen anything like it.”
Mr Semhat, 56, said he had to ask for help from a friend to get the huge vegetable out of the ground.
He insisted that he had used no fertilizer or other chemicals to produce it.
So, the world’s largest Organic potato …… Mind you, just south of Beirut? I wonder what the chemical load in the soil is anyway?

I also wonder what it’ll taste like as often these giant plants lose taste. But I bet we’ll never know as no-one will eat it.
