2/3/2004: Record-setting omelette



France - the one thing she should always be known for is gastronomy, and so let's enjoy this giant truffle omelette. Created to celebrate the truffle, which is a sort of fungus - known as the "black diamond", and extremely rare due to last summer's heat.

This was a record-breaking omelette, consisting of 3.5 kilos of truffles and more than 3,200 eggs. The culinary feat required a frying pan of some 3.7 metres in diameter. It was cut into 1,000 pieces and sold.

Mmmm omelette
