Jaskovo, Croatia: With tonnes of flower and apples, a Croatian village on Saturday made it into the Guinness World Records with a line of strudels stretching more than three kilometres (nearly two miles).
Two tonnes of flour and three tonnes of apples were used for the world's longest line of strudels -- baked pastry desserts -- in the small village of Jaskovo, organisers said.
"After very rigorous verification and counting I can announce that a total was achieved of 8,940 strudels which means that's a new Guinness World Record title," said Paulina Sapinska, a Guinness World Records adjudicator, after the measurement.
The line of strudels was 3,136 metres (1.95 miles) long.
