Uruguay Breaks Record!
Most footballers per head of population? Lowest house prices? Most laid-back people? Least heard of country? Best beef? No...
Uruguay has got into the Guinness Book of Records for holding the biggest barbecue in the world. Yesterday, 1250 white-hatted chefs cooked up 12,000 kilos (26,400 pounds) of beef on a barbecue that was almost a mile long. Firefighters helped light six tonnes of charcoal, and monitored the event. The few half-hearted vegetarian protesters were soon sent scarpering by the 20,000 meat-eating spectators who soon demolished the spoils. Many cried with joy when the judge announced that the previous record - held by Mexico - had been broken. It takes momentous events such as these - and my blog - to put this lovely little corner if our world on the map.

As a meat eating vegetarian (I like chips with everything) I applaud their efforts.

Paola, if I'm not mistaken, I think I've seen Uruguayan beef sold in the supermarkets -I know for definite we have Scottish beef. I buy British of course and had (organic) roast beef, parsnip and potatoes, together with boiled spring cabbage, turnip and carrots and not forgetting Yorkshire puddings for our sunday lunch yesterday.
