San Carlos bakes giant mango pie
SAN CARLOS CITY–The people here baked and assembled what they hoped to be the biggest mango pie in the world measuring 100 square meters and two inches thick on April 26 in celebration of the city’s Mango Bamboo Festival.
The giant mango pie was a mixture of 2,000 kilos of ripe mangoes, one of the city’s main agricultural products, flour, condensed milk, vanilla and sugar prepared under the direction of the San Carlos City Bakers Association headed by Abe Samson.
Each of the city’s 86 barangays contributed one square meter of mango pie while each of the 14 departments of the city government prepared one square meter of pie.
All the baked mango pies were brought to the city hall, assembled and then transferred to the Resuello Memorial Auditorium.
The giant mango pie was conceived to highlight San Carlos City’s long time claim as the home of the world’s sweetest mangoes.
San Carlos City is one of the top producers of quality mangoes in the Pangasinan while the province is currently the biggest mango producer in the country.
WORLD RECORD
Mayor Julier Resuello hailed the cooperation of the barangays for the giant mango pie which the city plans to enter in the world record book.
Vice Mayor Joseres Resuello, who was in charge of coordinating the making of the giant pie, said intensive preparations took three months.
He said the city plan to repeat the project next year and hopes to land in the London-based Guinness Record.—LM
