Did You Know. . .

that according to the the Guiness Book of World Records, it took 110,000 eggs to make the world's largest omelet?   (It sure would take a long time to crack that many eggs!)  It was made on October 8, 2010 at Cepa shopping mall in Ankara, Turkey.   It weighed 9,702 lbs. 8 oz. (4.401 tonnes).  The event was organized by the Turkish Egg Producers Association and the Pruva Neta tourist agency to celebrate World Egg Day 2010.  It took over two hours to prepare the omelet by executive chef Süleyman Aºçioğlu and his team of 60 chefs.  It was made in a 30 foot (10 meter) diameter metal pan and had over 79.25 gallons (300 liters) of oil and salt.  (Source:  http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/1000/largest-omelette)
