The vat of food contained 400 kilos of meat, 150 kilos of potatoes and 100 kilos of onions and served up more than 3,000 portions to customers.

Bozidar Miodragovic, head chef and organiser, told the newspaper the secret to getting the perfect goulash is getting the ingredients correctly proportioned and including the right seasoning.

Money raised in the sale of the prospective record-breaking stew will go towards buying medical equipment for detecting leukaemia and lumphoma.
