. . BUT EVIDENCE IS EATEN
Preparing the sandwich
Iran failed to register what it said would be the world's largest sandwich in the Guinness Book of World Records on Friday after people rushed forward and began eating it - before it was measured.
It had taken 1,500 cooks two days to stuff more than 2,000lbs of meat into the 5,000-foot-long sandwich.
Event organisers had planned to display the world's largest ostrich sandwich in a park in the capital Tehran.
But as the sandwich was being measured, chaos ensued. The giant snack was gone in minutes, a Reuters witness said, leaving the three Guinness representatives present with a dilemma.
One of the event's organisers said video footage of the sandwich would be sent to Guinness officials.

Ostrich farmers point out that the flesh of their eccentric bird has half as much fat as chicken, lots of iron, and very little cholesterol - as well as being extremely tasty.
