Fifty chefs in the Arab-Israeli village of Abu Ghosh yesterday mashed up over four tonnes of hummus, beating the Guinness World Record set in Lebanon just months ago.
"This is a new record," said Guinness adjudicator Jack Brookbank as the massive dip, dished out in a six-metreu00a0 satellite dish provided by sponsors, weighed in at 4,087.5 kilos.
That is about twice as much as the previous record set in October in neighbouring Lebanon, Israel's political and culinary rival.
Lebanon recently sought to have the European Union register the dip as a Lebanese speciality, drawing hoots of derision from Israeli afficionados, who claim that would be like claiming intellectual ownership of bread.
About 50 chefs worked side by side to prepare the massive plate of hummus set up on a specially erected platform outside the restaurant located just a short drive from Jerusalem.
