Soup for 30,000

"At Mamigasaki River in Yamagata prefecture, 100 chefs cooked for 30,000 guests at the Yamagata Imoni Festival last weekend. The exercise was part of a PR campaign for local agriculture, and therefore only local ingredients were used. The gigantic cooking cauldron was 6 metres in diameter, and the potato soup took 4 hours to boil."

I just hope they cleaned those machines really well first!!! (And hopefully nobody fell in)
