World Scene: Iran

Record evidence swallowed

Iran failed on Friday to register what it said would be the world's largest sandwich in the Guinness book of World Records after people rushed forward and began eating it - before it was measured.

Event organizers had planned to stuff the 1,500-m-long sandwich with 700 kg of ostrich meat and 700 kg of chicken, and display it in a park in the capital Teheran.
