'Eggstremely' Expensive Omelette

By Mark Sage, PA News, in New York

In a city of power lunches and expense accounts, a new extravagance is on
offer to New York diners - a one thousand dollar (£565 ) - omelette.

The six egg omelette is filled with fine lobster and 10 ounces of exclusive
caviar.

Chefs at the plush Le Parker Meridien hotel in Manhattan have named the
pricey dish the Zillion Dollar Frittada.

But there is a snag - no-one has ordered the omelette which has been on the
menu for two weeks.

"Every six months we come up with new dishes for the menu," said Steven
Pipes, the hotel's general manager.

"We don't like things to get stale."

There is a budget version of the omelette - with only one ounce of the
sevruga caviar it sets diners back just one hundred dollars (£56.50).

Mr Pipes went on: "Since we knew it was going to be a very expensive dish we
decided to have some fun with it.

"If someone really wants to splurge, we gave them a 1,000 option. It's not
just a gimmick, though. It tastes good," he told the New York Daily News.

The ingredients a

Six eggs

One tbspn. chopped chives

One-and-a-half tbsps. butter

One lobster

Five tbsps. heavy cream

Ten ounces sevruga caviar
