Lebanese chefs celebrate around a large

Lebanese chefs celebrate around a large plate of hummus after setting a new world record in Beirut on October 24, 2009. Hundreds of garlic-loving Lebanese came together to make the largest hummus serving on the world's biggest plate, claiming ownership of the dish with a new Guinness world record. Under the watchful eyes of the adjudicator, chefs and their trainees poured 1,350 kilograms (2,976 pounds) of mashed chickpeas and 400 litres (13,525 ounces) of lemon juice into the mega-sized pottery dish, cheered on by hundreds of onlookers.
