Bucharest makes world record bid with 392-metre sausage
AFP - Sunday, December 28
BUCHAREST (AFP) - - Bucharest attempted a new world record Saturday with a 392-metre (1,286-foot) smoked sausage that took two weeks to prepare and weighs a hefty 150 kilogrammes (330 pounds).
About 20 people worked on the giant wors, commissioned by the city of Bucharest and presented Saturday during local holiday festivities, Realitatea TV television reported.
Two hundred metres longer than the previous record holder from Poland, according to local media, the sausage was to be later grilled and served to residents.
A representative of the Guinness Book of World Records was also on hand to witness the record attempt.
On Sunday, the Romanian capital claimed the world's biggest-ever Christmas give-away, when 3,939 people dressed as Father Christmas handed out gifts to children in the streets of Bucharest.
The city authorities were also planning another record attempt on Sunday with the world's heaviest cake.
