World’s Longest Christmas Log
As it’s a possible destination for 2007, I’m keeping my eye on a couple of Maltese blogs. Wired Temples reported today on group of Maltese students who broke the Guinness world record for the longest Christmas Log. It’s 88.44 metres long:
The log took 165 kg of digestive biscuits to make, coupled up with a further 137.5 kg of dates, 55 kg of candied peel, 275 tins of milk, more than 19 bottles of brandy as well as 550 teaspoons of vanilla. The log, prepared by 30 ITS students over the period of one month, weighed 465kg by the time it was completed.
I’m not exactly sure what a Christmas log is. Is that what I know as a Christmas fruit cake? It’s not a Yule log, which gets burned in a fireplace (which, frankly, is where a number of those fruit cakes belong) as a tradition in northern Europe.
