Spanish Grandmother's "18 Onions" Recipe Becomes Viral Sensation
A recent online video featuring a Spanish grandmother and her family has taken social media by storm, offering a delightful glimpse into their playful dynamic centered around an unusual scallop recipe. The video, uploaded by user "laabumagda," documents a recurring family joke where the grandmother is repeatedly asked to recall a recipe for "vieiras" (scallops) that, to her growing exasperation, supposedly calls for an astonishing "18 cebollas" (18 onions) and "1 kilo de jamón" (1 kg of ham). The clip shows the grandmother, identified as "Magdalena" in her profile, in various settings, from a supermarket aisle to her kitchen, patiently (and sometimes not so patiently) reiterating the exaggerated ingredients. "It's the fourth time I've told you!" she exclaims in one segment, her frustration palpable yet endearing. The ongoing gag culminates in a heartwarming prank where she receives a gift box filled with precisely 18 onions, eliciting a mixture of surprise and mock annoyance. The video has resonated with hundreds of thousands of viewers, garnering over 500,000 views and 34,000 likes. Commenters have praised the grandmother's patience and humor, with many sharing their own family anecdotes. One user remarked, "What patience this woman has," while another humorously questioned, "18 onions, 1 kilo of ham, 2 scallops and stir for 3 hours... I don't see anything 'strange' in this recipe." The video offers a charming and relatable portrayal of intergenerational humor, proving that sometimes, the simplest family jokes can bring the most joy.
