List of Palestinian records
List of Palestinian records lists national and international records achieved by people, groups or institutions from the Palestinian territories.[1] For Example, The largest Qatayef ever made had a net weight of 104.75 kg (230 lb), which was organized by the Bethlehem Chamber of Commerce and Industry and cooked by the DANA bakery (Palestine) in Bethlehem, Palestine, on 27 August 2010. Also, Three dedicated women in the West Bank are hoping to break the Guinness World Record for the biggest straw tray ever constructed in history. The project, which the women have been working on for over two years, was begun by Rose Hamad, a resident of a small village near the city of Ramallah. The straw tray is already the largest such tray in Palestine, and its construction continues. Also, Palestinian chefs were able to get into the Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s largest salad when they have prepared a large bowl of the traditional Arabic dish Tabouleh at the Friend’s School in the Palestinian city of Ramallah, Friday, 9 June 2006. The traditional dish made of lettuce, tomato, olive oil, cracked wheat and mint is a new record for the dish, according to organisers of the culinary achievement. Also, a group of Palestinian seamstresses in Hebron have produced the largest traditional dress ever sewn. About 150 women helped make the dress which is 32.6m (107ft) long and 18.1m (59.4ft) wide. It is hoped that the dress will secure a place in the Guinness Book of World records and promote local handicrafts.
