France:Fête de l’Omelette Géante, Bessières, Occitanie 8-10 April .It’s said that Bessières’
giant omelette festival was inspired by Napoleon’s visit to an auberge near the town, which
served him such a delicious omelette that he insisted the chef cook a giant one for his army.
There may not be much truth to the story, but the occasion has become a legend in itself. The
main event, on Easter Monday (10 April), kicks off with volunteers – many of whom belong to
the Global Brotherhood of the Knights of the Giant Omelette – cracking 15,000 eggs; these
are then seasoned, whisked and cooked in a fourmetre frying pan set over a bonfire. The
surprisingly delicious omelette, which is more like scrambled eggs once it’s been stirred, is
then served for free to the 2,000 festival-goers and celebrates the global community that sees
Bessières linked to six other giant omelette festivals around world, from Belgium to New
Caledonia.
