Turkey has entered the 2007 edition of the famous book for its consumption of…….bread. The book quotes that each person eats an average 700 kgs of bread per year. Well we say eat, but we're sure some of this ends up as fishing bait judging by the guys we see on the kordon.
Whilst we know the Turks love their loaves we expected the nation to top the records with their consumption of tea. But no, they have been beaten to the tea pot by the Irish, who according to the book, are the highest consumers at 2.5 kgs per year.
And another surprise, the highest consumption of beer is not with the British or even the Belgians. Its Czechs who top that list with each person downing 157 litres per year. Of course these figures are averaged over the whole population so somewhere someone is very merry indeed.
