Meat record broken: Guinness judges reject mega-barbecue in South Africa

In the South African city of Pretoria, a large-scale attempt to break the Guinness World Record for simultaneously frying meat on an open fire has ended. On the field of Loftus Stadium gathered more than 2,400 participants with their braziers and traditional sausages.

To record the new record, participants were required to fry meat continuously for at least 5 minutes without leaving the working areas. Despite the fact that the number of cooks exceeded the previous Japanese achievement of 2,200 people, a strict panel of judges refused to register the result.

The reason for the disqualification was non-compliance with the protocol: dozens of participants walked away from their grills to the official final signal. Organizers said that despite the judges' refusal, all cooked portions of meat will go to charity lunches for those in need.
