Ananova:

A Greek restaurant owner has broken the record for the world's largest kebab.

Costas Dasios from Patras made the pork kebab weighing 1,850kgs on a 1.73-metre steel skewer, according to the Kathimerini newspaper.

Around 150kgs of spices and 100kgs of salt were used to add taste to the kebab and a two-ton natural gas tank was used to cook it.

Mr Dasios said: "The city's poor will be the first to get a taste."

The previous world record was held by a restaurateur from Cyprus named Sami Eid.

He made a kebab in Limassol, Cyprus in June 2001 weighing 1,503.66kgs.
