The cooking will have lasted five hours.
With, at the end, enormous satisfaction: the world record for the longest tarte flambée was beaten overnight from Tuesday to Wednesday in Strasbourg!
It was measured precisely at 38.80 meters, almost four meters more than the previous benchmark achieved in 2018.
“They had planned 40 meters but it was reduced in the oven”, laughs Eric Hamel, the director of the school of communication of the Alsatian capital (ISEG).
It was one of his groups of first-year students who had the idea of taking up this challenge.
As part of their “project management course”.
Objective achieved after… three months of training in a brasserie in the city where they notably learned how to make the dough for the famous “flammekueche”.
All that remained was to succeed in everything on D-Day.
From 5 p.m. on Tuesday, in front of the Zénith de Strasbourg and in a festive atmosphere with the presence of folk dancers, around twenty students set off.
With impressive ingredients: 10 kg of onions, 10 kg of bacon bits, 20 kg of cream and therefore 40 kg of dough.
"It had to respect a width of 26 centimeters and an obligation of density of onions and bacon bits", specifies their director, still impressed by the operation.
The oven, which moved forward on wheels until 2 a.m., then made it possible to validate the entry in the Guinness Book of Records.
Validated by a bailiff.
