OK, enough about carrots – how about sausages? Here’s the world’s longest sausage: a 1,286 ft (392 m) long smoked sausage from Bucharest!
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.
