IRANIANS MAKING WORLD'S LARGEST OSTRICH SANDWICH TO PROMOTE OSTRICH FARMING INDUSTRY

Ostrich farms? I didn't think anyone was falling for this scam any more.

Cooks in Iran have tried to assemble the world's largest ostrich sandwich at a food festival in Tehran, as part of a bid to promote healthy eating.

The organisers want to promote Iran's fledgling ostrich farming business.

About 1,500 cooks used 1,000kg (2,200lbs) of ostrich meat to make the 1,500m (4,920ft) long sandwich.

It took two days to prepare the sandwich, and a huge measuring tape ran the length of the table on which it was sitting.

The sandwich drew crowds of onlookers, and some reports said people rushed forward to eat it before it could be measured for the record.
