It's quite odd to be fighting about a sandwich, but if it's a sandwich that has a world title under its crumbs, then it's worth something to fight about. In the country of peaceful Canada, a heated debate is popping in its East Coast, because two towns are up against each other's throat as to which of them made the longer lobster roll.
On a charming Sunday in the East Coast Canada, attendees of the P.E.I. Shellfish Festival in Charlottetown created what they claim to be the longest lobster roll in the whole world. Measuring at over 79 feet and one inch long, the organizer of the festival felt like this sandwich deserves to earn a place in the Guinness World Records. The sandwich was prepared by three chefs, Ross Munro of Charlottetown, Lynn Crawford of Canada Food Network, and last but not the least is Matt Nolot of Indiana.
The actual stamp of approval by the Guinness hasn't been given yet, but the Charlottetown residents are positive about their successful festival. The festival has never been heard of, Liam Donal, the founding founder said, but if they get into the Guinness World Record, then that will change everything.
On the other hand, the previous record was awarded to fellow East Coast town, Shediac, in 2014, wherein they created a monster lobster roll that reached 72 feet and four inches upon measurement. But according to Shediac, back in July during their very own lobster festival, they made the longest lobster roll. They made a lobster roll that measured up to 85 feet! And during an interview with CBS News, "I am happy to see a rivalry between two maritime communities, it's good for the industry and supports many communities in the maritimes," Pierre Cormier, president of the Chambers of Commerce in Shediac said.
