The category of this entry is really 'not seen on the web'.
I am writing it because when I was young, in my family, in South Wales, we referred to spring onions as 'gibbons'. I have searched, but failed to find any reference to this definition on the web.
I have no idea of the origins of this word. My family had both English and Welsh roots (my father's forebears came from Yorkshire, my mother's from Aberystwyth). I don't recall coming across the term 'spring onion' until I was a student safely away from any Welsh influence.
Please feel free to comment to confirm or deny the accuracy of this usage.
If you execute this search you can check whether any other pages defining the word 'gibbons' with reference to salad vegetables.
