Unintentional Hilarity: They Couldn't Make A Giant Danish.

Wait till you see the oyster crackers.

Chefs prepare the largest Quaker soup in an attempt to enter the Guinness Book of Records in the Saudi Red Sea city of Jeddah late September 3, 2008. Three Saudi chefs and 16 assistants made 7,500 litters of Quaker soup and succeeded in setting a record.

If you'd like to make a somewhat smaller tureen for yourself, you can find the recipe here. By the way, I'd love a giant vat of hummus.

"Three Saudi chefs and 16 assistants made 7,500 litters of Quaker soup and succeeded in setting a record."

Seven thousand plus sets of baby cats cooked in a soup??? Was this unintentional hilarity within unintentional hilarity?
