This from Staff Writer Meredith Moss
There’s a lot of hummus and then there is a lot of hummus.
A new Guinness World Record was set this week in the multi-cultural village of Abu Ghosh, near Jerusalem in Israel.
Under the direction of restaurant owner Jawdat Ibrahim, villagers spread 9,992 pounds of hummus into a 20-foot satellite dish making it the largest serving of hummus ever.
According to the Israeli Ministry of Tourism, this week’s record broke the previous Guinness record set in Lebanon two months earlier.
