What a Whopper!

 Denby Dale Nr. Huddersfield is famous for its monster meat and potato pies - they're even mentioned in the Guinness Book of World Records. These gigantic pies are usually baked to celebrate special national occasions and events.
This is the pie dish used for the 1964 Pie - it measures 18 feet by 6 feet by 18 inches deep and the pie weighed 6 ½ tons. It is located outside the Pie Hall which was built on the proceeds from sales of the pie (30,000 portions were devoured - in just over one hour).
This pie was to honour four Royal births in one year – an occurrence which had not taken place in 200 years.
