However, despite all of this failure, Lebanon occupies the first place in many fields. After Kibbeh and Hummus, Lebanon entered the Guinness World Records book with the largest dish of Tabbouleh. 1600 kg of parsley, 1500 kilograms of tomatoes and 420 kg of onions made the glory of Lebanon yesterday. A glory that weighs three and a half tons of tabbouleh.
«Where does the Hummus come from? Where does the Tabbouleh come from? »Chanted “Michau”, with Chef Ramzi at his side, to fight his political battle against Israel. End of the line."
