Don't argue with a man who knows his onions.

I'd say it was a rough guesstimate at best. It's got me thinking though, I wonder how many chips are in a bag.

Five pounds twenty five for a jar of pickled onions? How big is the jar?

big enough to fit an unknown quantity of pickled onions of course - stupid bloody question!

Well it's x where x = the number of pickled onions in an average jar x the chip shop constant.

Once upon a time anything that grew from a bulb- crocuses, daffodils, garlic, onions- The bulbs were all called onions. So someone who 'knows there onions' is someone who knows what plant will grow just by looking at the bulb.
