Iranians create 1500 meter ostrich sandwich

October 19, 2008 at 10:59 pm by ojrifkin · More posts about:Sandwich Eating Challenges

The BBC has an article and video about the creation of a 1500 meter long (.93 mile) sandwich in Tehran. The sandwich contained 1000 kg (2200 lbs.) of ostrich meat and was created to promote Iranian ostrich farming. Onlookers devoured the sandwich before it could be officially recorded by the Guinness Book of World Records, but the event organizers hope that video of the sandwich will result in it supplanting a 1378 meter long Italian ostrich sandwich in the official records.

FarsNews has a picture of Kobayashi in its article about the sandwich.
