San Carlos City : Maker of the World’s Largest Mango Pie

San Carlos City, the largest city of the Province of Pangasinan, set a world record when its mango pie became the world’s largest mango pie last 2011. The mango pie, measuring 100-square-meter and two inches thick, was subdivided into 400 pieces of mango pie, each weighing 10 kilos with a total cost of Php 400,000.

The giant mango pie was made from 2,000 kilos of ripe mangoes, flour, condensed milk, vanilla and sugar. It was prepared by the residents of the 86 barangays of the city under the direction of the San Carlos City Bakers Association.

The huge mango pie was displayed for public viewing in the city plaza last April 26, 2011 during the city fiesta. After public viewing, it was shared by more than 1,200 residents of the city.

The bid for the World’s Largest Mango Pie was one of the highlights of San Carlos City’s Mango-Bamboo Festival last April 2011. Mango is one of the major agricultural products of the city.
