TEHRAN, October 17 (RIA Novosti) - An attempt by Iranian chefs to make the world's longest sandwich during a food festival in the capital, Tehran, was eaten before the record could be registered, local media reported.
It took two days to prepare the 1.4 metric tons of ostrich meat, chicken, mayonnaise, mushrooms, onions, garlic, spices and bread to make the 1.5-km (0.9-mile) sandwich, which was eaten in minutes.
The event's organizers say they would send a video to the Guinness Book of World Records to prove the record.
A spokesman for Tehran Mayor's Office said the previous sandwich record - of 1.4 km - was set in Italy.
