Rolling an orange with your nose and other world records

If you could create a food world record category, what would it be?

It was Guinness World Records Day yesterday, and it seems a large number of entries in the world's favourite book of pointless trivia will need updating as a result.

Aside from the records for 'largest gathering of people wearing underpants/knickers' taking a tumble (116 on the concourse at St Pancras station in London) and 'fastest mobile bed' smashed (69 mph, created and driven by Edd China and another glorious victory for Britain), there were quite a few food and drink records attempted.

In Preston new records for the largest cup of tea (400 litres) and largest tea bag (60kg) were set, and in Camden Lock the longest line of pizzas ever (285.5m) was created (who comes up with these categories?).

Elsewhere, Anita Schwarz thought her dreams of bringing the 'most beer steins carried' record back to Germany had been cruelly shattered after she managed to carry 19 giant foaming mugs only 40 metres, but the adjudicating powers created a new category in recognition of her efforts and she is now the official record-holder for 'most beer steins carried over 40 metres – female' (they really are making this up as they go along ...).

Also in Germany, 5.4 litres of juice was extracted from grapes by treading in just one minute by teutonic treading titan Martina Servaty, beating Belgian Tijs Vandoorne into second place for the coveted (and imaginatively named) 'most juice extracted from grapes by treading in one minute' record.

And in New Zealand, two separate records concerning the time taken to peel and eat kiwi fruit fell - the 'fastest time to peel and eat three kiwi fruits' is now, officially, 36.91 seconds (an astonishing average of 12.3 seconds a fruit) and the world's 'fastest time to peel and eat a kiwi fruit' now stands at 16.15 seconds, both feats achieved by Alastair Galpin (that's 16.15 seconds for a single fruit? Hang on a minute ...).

Confirmation of the results of another couple of record attempts is yet to be published by the official Guinness website, and they are in the categories for the largest loaf of bread (Brazil) and largest kebab (South Africa), leaving the rest of the world wondering about the significance of not calling these results immediately (at least we can all be sure John McCain's had his chips). And we should also, at this time, spare a thought for the Iranian attempt at the world's longest ostrich sandwich, which was eaten by a crowd of hungry amateur observers before an official measurement could be made. Was a record awarded? Any intelligence on the outcome of that sorry tale will be gratefully received.

Food tends to feature high in world record attempts - particularly in the world of pies, whether it's eating attempts - everything from pumpkin to mince - or efforts from your more active candidates, such as the crowd entering 'most people in a custard pie fight'. But it's not just pies - food lends itself spectacularly well to the more bizarre attempts on record, such as 'rolling an orange with your nose'.

Surely, though, there's scope for more? Aside from a 'most pointless category' category or 'most likely to obtain press coverage (greatest area of bare flesh revealed)', there must be some excellent food and drink categories that we've missed. Please find them for us - we'd like to compile the best. Otherwise, what food or drink triviality would you most like to see otherwise sane people strive to achieve? Or have you a particular guzzling talent you could showcase yourself?
