BigPond go to original August 02, 2009

| One hundred and fifty cooks and volunteers in Mexico City on Friday prepared a gigantic Mexican sandwich, possibly the largest of its kind ever made. (Aug. 1) |  | More than 30 ingredients and 150 pairs of hands have come together in Mexico City to break a world record for the world's longest sandwich.
 Known as a 'torta', the super-sandwich measured in at a whopping 46 metres, which set a new record for the longest sandwich to be prepared in Latin America for a third year running.
 Sections of the giant sandwich were divided into different flavours, each representing a concoction of flavours that local cooks have developed over the years.
 The 800 kilogram sandwich was competed in only six minutes and ten seconds. |
