Dozens of cooks joined forces in Mexico City late last month to prepare a 173-foot (53-meter) monster torta as part of the opening ceremony of the ninth annual Torta Fair, thus setting the new world record for the sandwich, according to the World Record Academy.
The torta, weighing 700 kg (1543 pounds), was made from thousands of pieces of bread, hundreds of liters of mayonnaise and 70 different ingredients.
