This Friday’s fact:
The world’s longest kebab was made in South Africa and measured a mouthwatering 2.1km!
It consisted of 3,100kg of beef, 3,600 onions, 24,500 dried peaches and 4,500 green peppers.
The kebab had to be cooked as 1 continuous piece. The total of 2,047 metres was divided into 50-metre lengths. 41 groups of 11 ‘kebab assemblers’ threaded the meat, vegetables and peaches on to steel rods. These were then joined and cooked over 15,000 kg of charcoal.

Today was the great Buyagift bake-off, raising money for Movember and Children in Need!
Many Buyagifters answered the call to bake a cake (including these smashing mustachioed gingerbread men made by Laurie), and many more Buyagifters answered the call to shove said cake in their faces. Charity has never tasted so good!
