A giant portion of plov weighing 7,360 kilograms was prepared, capturing global attention and showcasing the rich culinary heritage of Uzbekistan.

Prominent journalist and public figure Allamjonov recently recalled this memorable day on his social media. He wrote: “It has been exactly nine years since our team organized this event. Despite the passage of time, the emotions remain the same.” He emphasized that the project was not only about setting a record but also about highlighting the hospitality and cultural values of the Uzbek people to the world.
