Hampshire firefighters beat biggest naan record

by David Simpson on 7 January, 2015

A huge naan bread made by firefighters has been confirmed to be the biggest the world has ever seen.

Led by then Deputy Chief fire officer Dave Curry, the team created a giant Indian bread, weighing 26kg (57lb 5oz) and measuring 3.79m (12ft 5in) by 1.4m (4ft 7in).

The cooking feat, carried out at the Eastleigh Mela in Hampshire on 6 July, was confirmed as successful on Tuesday by the Guinness World Records.

This beats the 2008 record naan, which weighed 9.5kg (20lb 15oz).

That creation was cooked by Loblaw Companies Limited in Brampton, Ontario, Canada and measured 2.89m (9ft 6in) by 1m (3ft 4in).
