Ten Of The Largest Food Items From Around The World
We all enjoy seeing food the size of SUVs. And yes, there was a sigh of relief when I noticed that the US wasn’t the only one to set food records of massive proportions. This list takes local food challenges to the next level with these behemoth, hellacious works of art. We dare you to clean your plate.
Largest S’more

Largest Gluten-Free Pizza
Who: Dovilio Nardi
What: 1261.65 Square Metre(s)

Do you think you could eat this whole thing guilt free? Would you get a t-shirt? Prepared by Dovilio Nardi, Andrea Mannocchi, Marco Nardi, Matteo Nardi and Matteo Giannotte, this pizza has a bigger plan. This pizza was named Ottavia after the first Roman emperor Octavian Augustus. The purpose of this pie was to spread the message to the world about the importance of health conscious food choices … and this pizza party just got serious.
Largest Chocolate Truffle
Who: Mirco Della Vecchia
What: 1,768 pounds
Where: Italy
The largest chocolate truffle weighed in at 1,768 pounds of pure gluttony. Dark chocolate, Amarena cherries, cream and a dream made this creation come to life. Now this is how you get chocolate wasted.

What does one do with 819 pounds of peaches, 454 pounds of sugar and 312 pounds of butter? Make a colossal peach cobbler for the Annual Louisiana Peach Festival in Ruston, Louisiana.

Opa! The largest falafel weighed in at 164.80 pounds and was prepared by ten chefs using the traditional recipe of chickpeas, parsley, and coriander with mixed spices. It took 25 minutes to deep fry this bad boy and was later served to 600 hotel guests. I only hope they had enough tzatziki for everyone.
Largest Crab Cake
Who: Handy International Incorporated
What: 300 pounds
Where: United States
The largest crab cake weighed in at 300 pounds of fresh Maryland blue crab meat. I’d imagine that anyone allergic to shellfish were evacuated from the city leading up to the event. And that EpiPens were in everyone’s goodie bags.
