Autumn is the Season for High Blood Pressure – Travel Plans Await
Autumn, with its crisp air and falling leaves, also marks the start of a season known for high blood pressure. However, this time of year also brings about some culinary delights that are worth exploring. In the realm of food challenges, some records have been set that are truly mind-blowing.
When we think of bread, images of various types of bread, from baguettes to loaves, come to mind. But have you ever pondered over the idea of the longest bread in the world? The Guinness World Records has officially recognized a traditional bread called “Losca de Reyes” from Mexico as the record holder for the longest bread, measuring a staggering 4.5 kilometers. This feat was achieved by connecting more than 18,000 individual pieces of bread, each 15cm long. The baguette bread, which is synonymous with long bread, has also set records. France, the birthplace of the baguette, recently regained the title of having the longest baguette bread at 140.53 meters, surpassing Italy’s previous record.
Moving on to more surprising records, imagine a house made entirely out of bread. The world’s largest “Gingerbread House” was constructed in Texas, USA, using 820kg of butter, 7,200 eggs, 3,300kg of flour, 1,400kg of sugar, and 22,000 candies. The sheer size of this edible house, spanning 3,642 square meters, is awe-inspiring and drew visitors from far and wide.
Shifting focus to noodles, China holds the record for the world’s longest noodle, measuring a whopping 3084 meters. The noodle-making process required 40kg of flour and over 26 liters of water. After the successful noodle-making challenge, more than 400 portions of tomato noodles were served to employees and their families.
In the realm of seafood, one cannot overlook the oyster record. Denmark’s ‘Baden Sea Center’ is home to the world’s largest oyster, measuring 35.5 centimeters in length and weighing 2 kilograms. This colossal oyster, estimated to be around 20 years old, stands as a testament to the wonders of the ocean.
Lastly, Korea has made its mark in the realm of food challenges with records such as the world’s largest drum in Yeongdong-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do. This massive drum, measuring 5.54 meters in diameter and weighing 7 tons, was aptly named “Cheongo” to convey wishes and aspirations to the sky. Despite the challenges and criticisms faced by such extravagant food-related records, they continue to capture the imagination of people worldwide.
