Iran makes huge ostrich sandwich
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.
The organisers hope those world-beating dimensions will be enough to earn a place in the Guinness Book of Records for the largest ostrich sandwich ever.
It took two days to prepare the sandwich, and a huge measuring tape ran the length of the table on which it was sitting.
Iranians are deeply proud of their national cuisine, which includes such dishes as fesenjan - a meat stew with a tangy sauce made of pomegranate juice and ground walnuts, as well as the ubiquitous kebab.
But it can be quite a meaty, fatty diet. Ostrich farmers point out that the flesh of their eccentric bird has half as much fat as chicken, lots of iron, and very little cholesterol - as well as being extremely tasty.
