  Largest 'Torta' Sandwich - Mexico City sets world record MEXICO CITY, Mexico -- Dozens of people - including owners from 45 small businesses, gathered in Mexico City to help put a 161 feet (48-metre) 'Torta' sandwich together - setting the new world record for the Largest 'Torta' Sandwich.

   The World's Largest 'Torta' Sandwich was prepared with basic ingredients such as meat, chicken, beans, onions, lettuces, mayonnaise, tomatoes and chili.

   Organisers said the idea was to preserve Mexican culinary traditions as people tend to eat more and more fast foods.

    "The idea is to promote our traditions, and if there's something that we can be proud of, not only here but worldwide, it's the torta," said Jose Luis Valenzuela, Director of National Bakery Chamber.
   A torta is a Mexican sandwich, served on an oblong 6-8 inch firm, crusty white sandwich roll, called a bolillo, telera or birote. "Telera" is soft, round bread; also commonly used is the Bolillo, a torpedo-shaped French roll with a thick and crunchy crust.

    The 'torta', as the Mexican sandwich is known, was a joint effort of 45 restaurants and bakeries from Mexico City.     

    Even though the effort was not recognised by The Guinness Book of World Records, organisers said the idea was to preserve Mexican culinary traditions as people tend to eat more and more fast foods.

   The previous Guinness world record for the largest 'torta' (mexican) sandwich was also prepared in Mexico City in 2009; it weighed 750 kilograms and was 46 metres long.
