20 November 2007: A Bigger Barbecue

A cook in Morocco has prepared the world's largest barbecue -- by spit-roasting a 1,200-pound camel.

Two centuries ago a Moroccan king offered a roast camel to his people. "It's a tradition that's fallen out of favour and I brought it back" said 63-year-old Christian Falco, who hails from the south-western French city of Perpignan.

Cooking the camel took 15 hours and used three tons of wood and 15 litres of cooking oil.

Some 500 intrepid diners then feasted on it.
