78-meter-long künefe dessert eaten in 20 minutes in Turkey’s Hatay

A 78-meter-long künefe dessert was prepared on July 23 for an event held to commemorate the 78th year the southern border province of Hatay, the dessert’s homeland, joined Turkey. 

Some 1.5 tons of the heavy dessert was eaten in 20 minutes by participants.  

The Hatay Municipality initiated the event and placed the long dessert on the district of Antakya’s Atatürk Street, with Hatay Governor Erdal Ata and Hatay Mayor Lütfü Savaş pouring syrup on the dessert before serving the guests.  

Participants finished the 78-meter-long dessert in 20 minutes.
