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.
HUMMUS WAR
Chick-peas get ground-up
in an alimentary war between
Lebanon & Israel, but just
where does the hummus go?
Which bank gets to bank it?
How long’s its shelf-life?
