Dunno? Cuz he got into a food fight just before the cameras were on???
It was a leek to mark St. David’s Day, but I can see how you thought it was a spanish onion, it was a very small leek.
I think you might need to brush up on your recognition of vegetables, as it was a leek. Mind you a leek is one of the onion family, though
maybe he has a bunion like a _______ onion
Coz he is a prat! wanting to con the Welsh people into thinking he is good for them. Sack them, sack them all!!!!
He’s got to be wearing a leek to mark St. David’s day. St. David is the patron saint of Wales, and the leek is the national symbol. And seeing as he is the Prince of Wales…
Saint David’s Day is the feast day of Saint David, the patron saint of Wales, and falls on 1 March each year. The Royal Welsh Regiment and the Welsh Guards traditionally celebrate St David’s Day with the presentation of leeks to soldiers, often by a member of the Royal Family, and a parade.
Many Welsh people wear one or both of the national emblems of Wales on their lapel to celebrate St. David: the daffodil (a generic Welsh symbol which is in season during March) or the leek (Saint David’s personal symbol) on this day. The association between leeks and daffodils is strengthened by the fact that they have similar names in Welsh, Cenhinen (leek) and Cenhinen Bedr (daffodil).
The date of March 1st was chosen in remembrance of the death of Saint David on that day in 589, and has been celebrated by followers since then. The date was declared a national day of celebration within Wales in the 18th century.
