World's Largest Ukrainian Sausage


Up near Edmonton is Ukrainian country, if you couldn't have figured that out by the multiple Ukrainian roadside attractions. So on another trip to Edmonton where we stayed for the weekend we decide to take a road trip one day to occupy our time and I got to pick where we went. So of course I couldn't pass up the opportunity to see another world's largest thing. So we drove to Mundare, Alberta to see the world's largest Ukrainian sausage. I know this is probably weird coming from me but this is an odd world's largest thing. It looks just like you would think...a sausage in large form. It is very easy to find. Just drive east of Edmonton until you see the signs for Mundare and follow the road to town and as you come to town you will be able to see it. It's on Sawchuk street right across from a gas station. The sausage is 42 feet tall and weighs over 6 tons. When we went to see it obviously was winter and freezing cold. My hands could barely hold the camera to take pictures. Also the pathway to the sausage was covered with deep snow so had to trudge through it to get a closer look. I suggest waiting until good weather to see this one.
