Residents of Kamysty village in the
Kostanai region have set another record and entered Kazakhstan's Book of
Records. This time, they prepared the largest number of baursaks (a puffy fried
bread) in the country, with a total weight of 2,339 kilograms and 650 grams of
the national dish. A representative of Kazakhstan's Book of Records officially
recorded this achievement. Notably, the previous record was also set by the
residents of Kamysty village. This time, yurts and tents were set up in the
central square, and large cauldrons were installed. Some participants rolled
out the dough, others cut it, some fried it, while others carefully counted the
number of baursaks made.
«It's so great that such events are
organized at the district level. We can all get together and participate in
such a forum. It's really interesting and wonderful, as if time is returning, with
communication among our own people. It’s great! Our common goal unites us, and
we strive to not let our district down,» shared record participant Valentina
Korniyenko.
It should be noted that this is the second
record set by the village residents. They were first included in the Kazakhstan
information-encyclopedic reference book last year for making snowmen, precisely
2,300 of them.
«Today, not only a Kazakhstan record but
also a world record was set. For the first time in the country, such a large
number of snowmen were made. The record was global, not just national, as it
surpassed the Harbin record, which was registered in 2018, with a total of
2,018 snowmen,» said Kuandyk Kudaibergenov, official representative of
Kazakhstan's Book of Records.
