Toronto: Canada’s McGill University recently named the Guinness World record for the largest food salad.
The Food and Dining Services of Canada’s McGill University prepared a salad weighing 5078.88kg (11,197 lb). The salad was contained in a large inflatable swimming pool.
The salad included approximately 5400 lb. of watermelons, 1200 lb. of cantaloupes, 900 lb. of honeydew melons, 2250 lb. of pineapples, 221 lb. of Quebec apples, 360 lb. of Quebec strawberries, 114 lb. of Quebec berries, 150 lb. of oranges, 150 lb. of grapefruits, 810 lb. of red and green grapes, 40 lb. of lemon juice, and 337 lb. of orange juice
90 volunteers took four hours to cut all the fruits. Majority of the food was local; in fact 90 % came from McGill’s own campus.
Once the salad was prepared, it was served to about 2,000 students in compostable containers with wooden forks.
