Summertime

More than a thousand barbecue fanatics in Uruguay grilled up 12 metric tonnes (26,400lbs) of beef Sunday April 13, 2008, setting a new Guinness world record while promoting the country's succulent top export.

Army personnel set up a grill nearly 1 mile long and firefighters lit six tonnes of charcoal to kick off the gargantuan cookout.

Some 1,250 people grilled the beef and about 20,000 spectators cried with joy when a Guinness judge confirmed the barbecue record had been broken.
