Ugh.. wouldnt that mayo taste terrible after bein in the sun for so long ( in mexico..) ?

chrisinhouston · 04-28-2004, 09:28 AM

Ok, can somebody explain why this even happened? Ham and cheese isn't much of a Mexican delicacy, how about the world's largest enchilada?

And where do you find an oven big enough to bake bread the size of a mattress? Or was it just 2 slices off of the world's largest loaf of bread?

Mexico is plagued with corrupt politicians and police, poverty, drugs, illiteracy and if it weren't for the tourist trade at the resorts and islands they wouldn't have much of anything but dammit, they made the world's biggest ham and cheese sandwhich! Now that's something!

My only question is how will they eat it? That bread looks like it's a foot thick. Not exactly bite-sized, is it?

they'll eat it the same way the people on the Land of the Giants TV show did ... a handful at a time. Actually it's not that much different from the "nibble around the edges" technique that is sometimes required on a normally sized hoagie.

This is just too much calories for me. I can't handle this.

Ham sandwich. Booooring. Couldn't they have done a more interesting sandwich? Pastrami, maybe.

Algeria cooks up couscous record
A catering college in the northern Algerian city of Tizi Ouzou has cooked the world's largest couscous.
The traditional north African dish was made from 2,600 kilos (5,732 lb) of dry semolina, meat from 100 sheep and 1.5 tonnes of vegetables.

Representatives from the Guinness Book of Records attended the event to ensure it complied with the rules.

The feat by both teachers and students surpasses the previous record - not listed by Guinness - in Tunisia.

It was made using a custom-made couscoussier, or traditional cooking pot for couscous, which was 14ft (4.3m) wide and 26ft (8m) deep.

A three-tonne stove was also built to cook the couscous.

Organisers said the finished dish could feed 22,000 guests.
