The 2nd hummus war

[dayag]

I wonder if Guinness has a category for biggest falafel ball? :rofl:



Representatives of the Guinness Book of Records, who have eaten a lot of hummus lately, are already being served with another dish: After Israel broke the Guinness record for the world's largest plate of the popular Middle Eastern food, Lebanon is preparing for the second round.

This "hummus war" broke out following the Guinness record Israel broke in October 2008 with 400 kilograms of hummus in one plate, angering the Lebanese. Revenge followed about a year later: Lebanon broke the Israeli record by preparing two tons of hummus. The Israelis did not despair, and about two weeks ago they doubled the amount of hummus created by the Lebanese, putting four tons of hummus prepared by an Abu Gosh chef into one plate.

After the record was broken , Lebanese Tourism Minister Fadi Abboud said his country was up for the challenge and plans to beat the new record with an even bigger hummus plate this spring. The event is scheduled to be held at the Fatima Gate, near the Israel-Lebanon border...

First they came for the Hummus and we said nothing, then they came for the felafel and we said nothing, finally they came for the chickpea, and it was too late.

Not falafel too...oh the horror! :rofl:



Lebanon on Saturday claimed another victory in the continuing battle with Israel over which country can make the largest plate of the chickpea delicacy hummus -- with a 10-tonne broadside.

More than 300 chefs set the new record for hummus, which the Lebanese say is their national dish despite Israeli claims, in the presence of a Guinness World Records representative who confirmed its weight at 10,452 kilograms...
Now the Lebanese have also set their sights on falafel, which is popular in Lebanon, Syria, Egypt and ... Israel. On Sunday they will try to set a world record for that also.

They started a pissing contest without the other side knowing there was a contest. No wonder some of these nutters support Hezbollah against the imaginary Jewish devil warriors.
