One Tonne Kebab Breaks World Record

A doner kebab made from seven cows has been named the world's largest at a ceremony in Ankara, Turkey.

Hoisted by a crane for the public display on 12 June, scaffolding was required for the kebab to be measured, before meat was sliced off to the throng of hungry spectators.

10 cooks were required to make the 2.5m long dish that weighed in at 1,198 kg, over twice that of the previous record, a doner kebab made in Dubai in 2009 at 468 kg.
