Thousands gathered in France on the Monday after Easter to watch dozens of cooks make a giant omelette to celebrate Easter in the town of Bessieres.
According to the event’s website, the omelette is made using extra-long spatulas, a giant stainless steel pan and a forklift, mixed over an open flame in the middle of the city. The massive meal is then served, along with bread, free of charge.
The 43-year long tradition happens every year and members of the Giant Omelette Brotherhood cook up an enormous omelette to the delight and applause of thousands.
The event is said to be born out of a legend about Napoleon, who supposedly ate an omelette in Bessieres while passing through and requested one for his entire army the next day.
