I wouldn't care if the BBC also ran 'human interest' articles about Israel that made any attempt to put Israel into a fair light. But since I don't remember seeing anything presented outside of conflict there, and that usually so biased against Israel. Coming across a main headline story about Hummus - a food dish made of chick peas, and even that is designed to humiliate Israel, it only goes to show that BBC will stoop to anything to pursue their agenda, while pretending to their 'masses' that they are fair and balanced.
Lebanon fires latest salvo in hummus battle with Israel
The new record was set in Fanar, east of Beirut
Lebanon has claimed the latest victory in the continuing battle with Israel over which country can make the largest serving of hummus.
Some 300 chefs set the new record, creating a huge 10-tonne vat of the chickpea-based dip in Fanar.
That more than doubles the previous record of about four tonnes, set in January by cooks in the Israeli-Arab town of Abu Ghosh near Jerusalem.
Both Lebanese and Israelis claim hummus as a national dish.
A Guinness World Records adjudicator confirmed that Lebanon now held the record.
Hummus is a dip made of chickpeas, olive oil, sesame paste, lemon juice and garlic. The chefs mixed the ingredients together in a giant plate which itself claimed a record for the largest earthenware dish.
