Coming Soon: a 15,000 Egg Omelet



To make a 15,000 eggs omelet, you'll 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. The Festival of the Giant Omelet takes place in several places throughout the year, including the US! 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. (via Boing Boing)

Apparently the US celebration is at the end of the year in Abbeville, Louisiana:
