The world’s biggest kebab

THE owner of fast food chain Sam’s Food yesterday broke his own Guinness World Record for the world’s biggest doner kebab.

Sami Eid told the Sunday Mail: “I am very happy and proud to again set the world record. I’ve tried to find somebody that can beat me but can’t. It would be nice to have some competition.”
The giant chicken kebab, prepared and cooked in Limassol, weighed in at a whopping 1,815 kilos, 115 more than was aimed for. It stood 1.6m high with a diameter of 1.55m.

Twelve people started preparing the feast in the parking lot of the Yermasoyia River’s tourist area, at 9.30 am, with the first kebab served at midday.

The kebab was made from 2,150 chickens with Eid saying he was ready to feed 17,000 people.
“I have done this for charity, for the Maronite Antonine Sisters, who desperately need a new residence. I am hoping to raise anything between £10,000 and £30,000 from selling kebab coupons to members of the public over a period of 24 hours.”

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
