From the Article:
A 6.5-yard satellite dish with more than 9,000 pounds of hummus, the stuff of both consensus and controversy in the Middle East. The new record beats one set only two months ago in Lebanon, which has been waging a culinary-rights war with Israel for the last two years. In the past, Lebanese industrialists have pushed for registration of falafel, tabouleh and other elements of traditional Middle Eastern cuisine as Lebanese to protect them from what they call plundering by the Israeli market.
Hummus doesn't belong to anybody, says Jawdat Ibrahim, proprietor of the Abu Gosh restaurant and the organizer of the event. He hadn't slept in two days but he was beaming, groom-like, and patiently received one media crew after the other covering the event, which turned into a sunny street-party for all, including many Jewish guests who came to celebrate with their Arab neighbors.
