New Guinness Record: SMALLEST hummus plate ever

Spread the word: a new Guinness record was set, and this time it’s Israeli. The smallest hummus plate ever is 39mm in diameter, with 14 grams of superb Israeli hummus. Bit that.

New Guinness record: the smallest hummus plate everAsstonished from the recored-breaking 2 ton hummus plate from Lebanon, we decided it’s time The Hummus Blog will set a record of it’s own. Since we Israelis were always pioneers in miniaturization, we thought it’s makes sense to set the first Guinness record for the smallest hummus plate.

Ladies and jents, may I introduce our 39mm hummus plate, containing 14 grams of hummus. 300 Lebanese chefs were needed to break the record for the largest hummus plate. We only needed ONE!

We used 5 chickpeas, 1 teaspoon tahini, 1cc lemon juice, 9 drops olive oil and VERY little salt and garlic. Garnished traditionally with papparika, cumin and one chopped parsley leaf, our ultra-miniature hummus plate was ready to eat in less than 15 seconds.

The picture on the right shows our record-breaking hummus plate on a 1:1 scale (viewd in 1280×768 or 1024×768 resolution), alongside a 1/2 NIS coin. Bellow, you’ll see four close-up pictures.Now, spread the word!

    Nano can be beautiful. The attention to detail is simply exquisite. Compliments to the chef.

    Oh, thanks Marilyn. The truth is I did not put as much effort into it as I could. That’s should actually be considered a prototype. I’m eager now to make smaller, more detailed version.

    Perhaps you could make miniature hummus with just one chickpea?

    Now the race for the smallest Hummus begins.
    The Lebanese are on the plane to Iran for answers!!!
    Where is the pita?

    I believe most Lebanese are not great fans of Iran.
    A miniaturized pita will be included in the next version.

    No offence to the good and humus loving people of Lebanon intended, just some of them!

    Classic stuff! For a minute I thought that last pic had a record breaking miniature pita alongside it, but then realised it was a chickpea. Damn shame!

    Pröva Maxo´s Hummus finns i de flesta välsorterade livsbutiker hela landet.
    Även Maxo´s Falafel finns att njuta…

    Beaten with hummous, Israel goes for falafel record

    http://israelity.com/2010/05/23/beaten-with-hummous-israel-goes-for-falafel-record/

    Weighing in at 10.9 kilograms and with a circumference of more than a meter, the falafel ball is expected to enter the Guinness Book of World Records in the coming days.

    UPDATE: The new record for Hummus is held by Lebanon at 10 tonnes! The UN better step in before this gets out of hand and into mouth!

    Top tip: Its so easy and just takes a few minutes so make your own hummus and stay away from store bought product!

Got something to say?
