Worlds Largest Kanafeh


 Palestinian bakers made an extra-large version of a local pastry Saturday, hoping to set a world record and restore this former militant stronghold's reputation at the west bank's economic hub.
Their knafeh - a sticky mix of vermicelli, syrup and cheese - weighed 1,765 kilograms (3,891 lbs) and was 74 meters (243 feet) long. The sweets were laid out on a tray stretching across Nablus' main square and were quickly devoured by tens of thousands of visitors.
The measurements were certified by the Palestinian Standards Institute, and organizers said they'll submit the results to the Guinness Book of World Records. Mohanad Rabi, a local real estate developer who has been in touch with Guinness, said he is confident the record would be accepted. He said he was unaware of previous attempts to bake super-size knafe
The message of today is that we want to live in peace, Rabi said. We can build our nation and our future.
in 2009 , a Palestinian man from Nablus set the Guinness world record for baking the world's largest knafeh pastry, the Palestinian Man News Agency reported.
His record-setting pastry measured 75 meters long and two meters wide, and had an estimated weight of about 1,350 kg.
