    ------------------------------------------------------------------ Taiwan on Sunday (August 11) set a new world record with the longest ever super sandwich -- measuring 1874.6 feet (625 metres) long.

    Some 1,034 students in the southern city of Kaohsiung.stuffed 600-kg (1,320 lb) of bread with 1,400 kgs (3,080 lb) of beef, pork and vegetables at the city's Chiang Kai-shek Athletic Stadium.

    The organisers said the sandwich-making event was held to entertain vacationing teenagers.

    The super sandwich broke the standing record of 818 feet (245 metres) set in Hungary earlier this year.
