All set for world’s longest tupig

-
SOLANO, Nueva Vizcaya — This province’s premier town will attempt to create a name in the Guinness Book of World Records by creating the world’s longest tupig on May 14, the fourth day of this town’s five-day fiesta.

Tupig
is made of glutinous rice, known in the Iluko dialect as diket. With sugar, the milled diket is flavored with pulverized peanuts and corn, wrapped in banana or coconut leaves and grilled for at least five minutes. A kilo of flavor-mixed diket can produce at least 100 pieces of the Ilocano sweets.

The project, dubbed "Garantisadong Tupig," is aiming for a 1.6-km tupig, which would be grilled along the stretch of the national highway here, from the town hall to the downtown Hero’s Memorial Park. — Charlie Lagasca
