Bucharest made the World’s Longest Sausage on Sat., Dec. 27. The sausage was 392 m (1286 foot) and weighed 150 kg (330 pounds). This sausage, or wors in their local language, took 2 weeks to prepare. Twenty people worked on making the world’s longest sausage.

Bucharest made this sausage about 200 m longer than the previous world record held by Poland. An official from the Guinness Book of World Records was on hand to check and record this feat. Bucharest’s world’s longest sausage was later grilled and served to the local residents.
