How to Make a 15,000-Egg Omelet

To make a 15,000-egg omelet, you will need a 13-foot frying pan, a fork lift, a bunch of concrete mixing paddles, 70 liters of duck fat, and a battalion of chefs to break all those eggs. Oeuf! It happens on Easter Monday in Bessières, France, as it has for the past 50 years, as the pièce de résistance of a three-day festival. Once the giant omelet is ready, it will be given to festival attendees free of charge. The Festival of the Giant Omelet takes place in several places throughout the year, including the US! The American celebration is in Abbeville, Louisiana in November. But the biggest and best-known is the Easter festival in Bessières. These events are sponsored by the Brotherhood of the Giant Omelet, who have yet to update their page for 2024. Sometimes they go by the Knights of the Giant Omelet (Confrérie Mondiale de Chevaliers de l’Omelette Géante). Oeuf! -via Boing Boing
