A village in Russia wants to make it into the Guinness Book of World Records with the biggest salad ever, with a "concoction of cucumbers, tomatoes and herbs...expected to weigh in at 2,600 kilograms (5,720 pounds)." The Reuters report also added that spoons the size of human beings (why not have human beings in plastic suits walk around the salad) were mixing the salad and that the current world salad record is a 1,363-kilogram vegetable salad from Poland.




Meanwhile, in Somalia...
Seriously - I was thinking that the big salad is a terrible money losing proposition for this tiny town in Russia. What were the village leaders thinking!
Also I'm thinking all the lettuce on the bottom will get mega-nasty pronto under all that weight.
Odd, I've never really associated either Russian or Polish cuisine with lots of salad.
I wonder what sort of dressing they'll put on it?
