I peel layers like onions, but still remain whole, I can be long, like a flagpole, yet fit in a hole. What am I?

The sizzle confused me at first, then I tried the sound!

Went well with the food theme without shouting "i'm a reptile (or bird)". Even the "fit in a hole" is a food theme (toad in the hole).
