The Belgian city burnt a huge omelette of 10,000 eggs

Under the shy Belgian sun and the sounds of local music, everyone got their share of a huge omelette.

Belgian city honored Tuesday its 22-year-old tradition of cooking huge omelets, in the midst of a major European contamination with contaminated eggs, baking 10 000 eggs in a pan of four meters in a pan.

Millions of eggs have been withdrawn from European retail chains due to the use of fipronil insecticides prohibited in the diet because it can endanger human health.

But this was not at all dismayed by hundreds of people who gathered in Malmedy, eastern Belgium.

The president of the local branch of the International Order of the "Knights of the Great Omelette", Benedict Mathy, said she was convinced that with their omelette everything was fine.

Under the shy Belgian sun and with the sounds of local music, everyone got their share of a huge omelet baked in an open fire, as part of the annual festival organized by the "World Order of the Knights of the Great Omelette", founded in 1973.
