In a delicious turn of events, a local bakery in New Zealand has broken the record for the world’s largest meat pie. The colossal creation, baked by The Kiwi Pie Company in Auckland, has captured the hearts and stomachs of pie enthusiasts worldwide.
The gigantic pie, weighing in at an impressive 1,500 kilograms (3,307 pounds), was unveiled to an eager crowd, who marveled at the sheer size and scale of the savory masterpiece. The pie measured 4 meters in diameter and required a custom-built oven to accommodate its vast proportions.
Filled with a classic Kiwi combination of beef and vegetables, the record-breaking pie was the result of a collaborative effort by a team of 20 bakers who worked tirelessly for over 48 hours. The ingredients included 500 kilograms of beef, 200 kilograms of potatoes, and a secret blend of spices, ensuring that every slice was as flavorful as it was monumental.
The event not only celebrated New Zealand’s rich culinary tradition but also raised funds for local charities. Slices of the giant pie were sold to attendees, with proceeds benefiting community food programs and shelters.
The achievement has been officially recognized by the Guinness World Records, adding another accolade to New Zealand’s proud food heritage. The bakery’s owner, Sarah Thompson, expressed her joy and gratitude, saying, “We wanted to create something extraordinary that would bring people together and highlight the spirit of our community. Breaking the world record is just the icing on the cake—or, in this case, the crust on the pie!”
With this record-breaking feat, The Kiwi Pie Company has firmly established itself as a pioneer in the world of baking, proving that when it comes to pies, bigger truly is better.
