Italy on Sunday snatched from Romania the record for the production of the world’s longest sausage when a team of pork butchers crafted a delicacy more than half a kilometre long, the Ansa news agency reported.
Alberto Della Pelle from Penne, a small town in central Italy, helped by nine colleagues, created a sausage 597,8m long in the main street.
It was officially measured and declared to have beaten easily the previous Romanian record-holder, only 392m in length.
The monster sausage will be sliced to fill 6 000 sandwiches which will be sold to raise funds for the charity Caritas. — AFP
