Croatians Make World's Largest Sausage?

Here's something you don't see everyday!

Last weekend, Croatians cooked up what they claim to be the world's largest sausage measuring 530 metres.

Hundreds of locals gathered in the main square of Vinkovci in the country's east and grilled the giant sausage, made with 400 kilograms of pork, 10 kilos of salt, 2.5 kilos of spices and 3.5 kilos of garlic bought for a local farm, the town hall said.

Organisers said the sausage was the world's largest and could feed as many as 3000 people, but adding it was merely "training" for next year when they plan to produce a sausage measuring 1000 metres.

According to the Guinness Book of Records the longest-ever sausage made so far measured 392 metres and was made in Romania in December last year.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see for the next record breaker.
