In an attempt to promote eggs as a healthy and cheap food source, and celebrate World Egg Day,
Turkish chefs managed to set a new world record for the World’s Largest Omelet.
50 Turkish cooks, along with 1o chefs whisked 110,010 eggs on a giant fryer, 10 meters in diameter.
The omelette took 2.5 hours to cook, but I bet the people involved could think of no better way to celebrate
World Egg Day. 432 liters of oil were needed to make this larger-than-life-dish nice and fluffy. The event
was staged by the Turkish Egg Producers Association as a way of promoting eggs as a tasty and
healthy meal.
The giant omelette weighed 4.4 tons, beating the old record of 3.625 tons, by almost a ton. After the official
weighing, the omelet was served to the thousands of by-standers attracted by the smell.
