Peru presents the biggest "papa a la huancaina" in Huancayo
LivinginPeru.com
Isabel Guerra
The biggest “papa a la huancaina” was presented in the Andean city of Huancayo (Junin region), in a table 100m long.
A total of 12,000 servings of this traditional, flagship Peruvian dish made of potatoes in a sauced based from yellow chili and white cheese, were presented for the record.
The preparation of this dish, considered one of the seven gastronomic wonders of Peru, required 1,500 kilos of potatoes, plus a large amount of olives and eggs, to serve 12,000 dishes.
The first version of the biggest Papa a la Huancaina took place in 2008, with 8,000 servings.
Local stories state that this dish was created sometime during the construction of the Peru's Central Railway, when reportedly a group of women made this dish to feed a large number of workers.
