World Record Set at "Torta Fair?"
The BBC reports that makers of the particularly Mexican brand of sandwich known as the torta are going for a record: the world's largest sandwich.
The sandwich, measuring more than 144 feet in length, was made for for the 5th annual Fería de la Torta, being held in Venustiano Carranza, a section of the DF. Sandwich makers are coming from all over the country to participate and raise awareness of the torta as a fast food for the masses. The invasion of other fast food outlets from the north such as McDonalds, Burger King, and even Taco Bell has supposedly had a considerable impact on torta sales throughout the country.
The way the BBC article talks about it, it seems that there was no official verification of the fact that the sandwich broke any world records, as was the case with the one made by Bimbo in Mexico City a couple of years ago.
