The world's largest serving of plov, also called pilaf, was made on Friday during O'zbegim, a traditional cultural festival in Tashkent, capital of Uzbekistan. Pilaf is widely regarded as the national dish of Uzbekistan. It's a rice dish, usually cooked in a seasoned broth made of mutton, carrots and onions. A unique characteristic of pilaf is that it is traditionally eaten with one's fingers.  To make the world’s largest serving of pilaf, weighing 7,360 kilograms, a total of 50 chefs from across the country spent six hours preparing it. After it was done, a spokesperson for the Guinness World Records announced the results and awarded the pilaf an honorary title.
