Lebanon reclaims hummus world record from Israel

The gigantic serving of the popular Middle Eastern chickpea paste is the latest shot in the two countries' ongoing war to assert ownership over the dip.
Some 300 Lebanese cooks on Saturday prepared the huge batch of hummus that weighed in at 22,046 pounds (10,452 kilograms). That more than doubles the previous record of around 4 metric tons set in January by cooks in an Arab town near Jerusalem, which broke a previous record held by Lebanon.
A Guinness World Records adjudicator confirmed that Lebanon now holds the record.
Lebanon accuses Israel of stealing traditional Arab dishes like hummus and marketing them worldwide as Israeli.
