BUCHAREST (AFP) – Bucharest attempted a new world record Saturday with a 392-metre (1,286-foot) smoked sausage that took two weeks to prepare and weighs a hefty 150 kilogrammes (330 pounds).

About 20 people worked on the giant wors, commissioned by the city of Bucharest and presented Saturday during local holiday festivities, Realitatea TV television reported.

Two hundred metres longer than the previous record holder from Poland, according to local media, the sausage was to be later grilled and served to residents.

A representative of the Guinness Book of World Records was also on hand to witness the record attempt.

On Sunday, the Romanian capital claimed the world's biggest-ever Christmas give-away, when 3,939 people dressed as Father Christmas handed out gifts to children in the streets of Bucharest.

The city authorities were also planning another record attempt on Sunday with the world's heaviest cake.

330 pounds of meat? Hot damn, I want to go to Bucharest right now! How often do you get to eat the world's biggest sausage? Once in a lifetime stuff, right here.

Can't wait to see that cake, too!

Awesome!

Wow. Just think of all the innocent vegetables that must be slaughtered to go with that.

Can you hear those cries? The cries of the onions and peppers? Poor things.

All a necessary sacrifice... for flavor.

Curious that you didn't quote Tool here. Disappointing, really. Oh well, goes to show what hope is really for. My bad.

And the angel of the lord came unto me, snatching me up from my place of slumber. And took me on high, and higher still until we moved to the spaces betwixt the air itself. And he brought me into a vast farmlands of our own midwest. And as we descended, cries of impending doom rose from the soil. One thousand, nay a million voices full of fear. And terror possesed me then. And I begged, "Angel of the Lord, what are these tortured screams?" And the angel said unto me, "These are the cries of the carrots, the cries of the carrots! You see, Reverend Maynard, tomorrow is harvest day and to them it is the holocaust." And I sprang from my slumber drenched in sweat like the tears of one million terrified brothers and roared, "Hear me now, I have seen the light! They have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul! Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses! Save our brothers!" Can I get an amen? Can I get a hallelujah? Thank you Jesus.

All a necessary sacrifice... for flavor.
Again, Maynard.
This is necessary. This is necessary!

Life feeds on life feeds on life feeds on life feeds on........

Nah. It's much more funner to not quote, and see who gets it.

And yes, I said 'more funner'.

Now you've lost me. What manner of subterfuge is this ... this thing i've heard of, called "subtlety"?

To think 20 years ago they didn't even have sausage...

Of course, they had plenty of it 10 years before that, but thank God for Ceaucescu's austerity program.

Oh hell yeah, thanks indeed!

It's a Wicked Game I play, to make you feel this way.

Seriously, though, no mention of side dishes. How disappointing.

What should i expect of you, anyway .... baby did a bad, bad thing.

Oh hell yeah, thanks indeed!

Nothing says socialism like having no meat.
