The festival of the giant omelet is a dream come true for egg lovers. At this annual outdoor festival in Bessières, France, over 15,000 eggs are cracked open and fried into an omelet in a gigantic pan over an open flame.
The comically large omelet is then cut up and fed to the festival-goers. Even if you're not a fan of eggs, just watching the making of this omelet seems like a lot of fun.
