If a group of Amish in Ohio have their way, Las Vegas may no longer hold the record for the world's largest buffet.This past Saturday nearly 600 dishes were served up at the Amish Flea Market in Holmes County. More than 2,000 tickets to the gigantic feed were sold. Talk about your chow lines!
The bill of fare included Hungarian sauerkraut soup, corn casserole and garlic mashed potatoes. By noon 300 dishes had hit the tables; the number to beat was 510. It will be some time before the folks in Holmes County hear back from the powers that be at Guinness. So far there's been no word on how many pounds of scrapple and shoofly pie were dished out.
Cakes so amazing they'd be hard to cut into

This seems to be at odds with the Amish notions of modesty.
(That said, I'm kind of in the mood for some sauerkraut soup now.)

cybele what you say on Amish modesty is true.
Though some of the food was probably 'Amish' and even prepared by them, this was an English, not Amish, production to deliver more attention (and tourist bucks) to the county.
Not that there's necessarily anything wrong with that; a lot of Amish benefit from the tourist trade as well, and Holmes County is a lot less congested as far as visitors go than, say, Lancaster County.
