Lebanese cooks break hummus record

Monday, 10 May 2010

Lebanese chefs have set a world record for hummus

enlarge

Lebanese cooks whipped up more than 10 metric tons of hummus, breaking a world record previously held by rival Israel.

The gigantic serving of the popular Middle Eastern chickpea paste is the latest shot in the two countries' ongoing war to assert ownership over the dip.

Some 300 Lebanese cooks prepared the huge batch of hummus which weighed in at 10,452 kilograms. That more than doubled the previous record of around four metric tons set in January by cooks in an Arab town near Jerusalem.

• The going price of getting away with murder... would $33m be enough?

La Clinton hath spoken. Thirty-three million smackers lopped off Pakistan's aid budget because its spooks banged up poor old Dr Shakeel Afridi for 33 years after a secret trial.

• Why my kids feel Olympics are not the real thing now

I did quite well in my school exams, but the only thing for which I can confidently say I stood out like a beacon among my fellow pupils was my record-breaking 100-metres dash.

• Think your money is legal tender? Don’t bank on it

Readers have a habit of shining spotlights on unexpected issues that throw up interesting queries. Or, on occasion, a downright can of worms.

• World must open its eyes and see Israel for what it is

• PR machine is driving Sinn Fein power push

Sinn Fein's ard fheis opens in Killarney tomorrow. Like most conferences held by successful political parties, it is a well-managed set-piece. It is a PR event and it is aimed at the voters watching on TV.

• Why bringing up our kids should be child's play... or maybe it's not

Nurse, the screens! Yup, top experts have issued new warnings about kiddies watching nothing but tellies and computers, while real life flits by unnoticed outside.
