“A team of chefs served up a treat at the weekend after creating the world’s largest falafel, weighing 163lbs. The giant dish was created by a team of ten chefs at the Landmark Hotel in Amman, Jordan, where Guinness officials confirmed the new world record. Containing 173 lbs of chickpeas, 11 lbs of onions and 4 lbs fresh parsley and coriander, the record breaking falafel was deep fried in 12ft of vegetable oil.
