Forty-year-old festival sees chefs use power tools to mix the eggs before a fork lift hoists the enormous frying pan into place
Using 8,400 eggs, 25kg of venison sausage and 14 bottles of salt and pepper, New Caledonia’s giant omelette festival aims to bring people together in a region that is often divided.
“It is important to have festivals like this. The giant omelette is a symbol of sharing,” says veteran chef Reine Chenot.
