New culinary record in Odesa: 1.82-meter-long shawarma

The city of Odesa in Ukraine made headlines today in an unusual culinary context: a local group set a new Ukrainian record for preparing a shawarma, which reached a length of 1.82 meters. According to the Труха⚡️Україна Telegram channel, known for its distinct pro-Ukrainian line, this breaks a previous record achieved in January 2025 that stood at 1.66 meters.

The news was published by several local media channels, including Всевидящее ОКО: Україна and Батальйон «Монако», which confirmed the details of the record and noted the exact measurements. This was a social initiative that received significant attention on social media.

The channel Труха⚡️Одесса, which reports on events in the city of Odesa, addressed the event with a humorous tone, noting that "it is likely that this is no longer fast food, but a strategic food reserve."
