Kien-k’ang • The Themiclesian Air Force today has acquired a citation in the Guinness Book of Records for producing the largest avocado toast in the world.
The snack is reportedly highly popular in the TAF, particularly with lemon zest and other aromatic herbs.
“The Guinness Book of Records recognizes the TAF’s avocado toast as the world’s largest, in terms of dimensions, weight, and quantity of ingredients,” the Association’s spokesperson remarked in an elaborate, avocado-green newsroom.
“The specimen consists of a four-foot-wide piece of toasted bread, 2,500 avocadoes, and the juices and zest of 100 lemons,” he described the culinary enormity.
This attempt at a world record follows a foiled attempt in recent memory. In 2012, the TAF attempted to make the world’s largest cotton candy, but due to a casual mention in a public house the idea was realized by the Union of Confectioners four hours before the TAF presented theirs to the public.
“This time, we have made sure there are no specialists in this area and classified the operations culminating in the giant snack as confidential,” the TAF’s host at the awards ceremony said. “An interdepartmental committee was appointed to oversee its conduction.”
Answering questions about the costs of this project, the TAF deflected the allegations of misuse of public money and officers’ time. According to them, every penny used in the snack’s creation was donated by TAF officers and men, and they worked on the project in their private time. They have taken to rent a private kitchen somewhere in the city so that they do not transgress the TAF’s kitchens at the garrisons where the committee sat.
“We hope to pay tribute to the snack that has become the staple of the Air Force for the past 5 years and to dispel the misconception that TAF dines on astronaut food out of toothpaste casings.”
The journalists attending the event were subsequently given a sliver of the magnified version of the TAF’s sustenance.
“It’s very soggy,” our correspondent resident with the TAF said.
