[emad]

BBC News snip:

A restaurant in New York is offering something special to customers with expensive tastes - a $1,000 omelette.

Diners at Norma's in Le Parker Meridien hotel can now order the "Zillion Dollar Frittada", a Spanish omelette with lobster and 10oz (280g) of caviar.

Restaurant manager Steven Pipes said it began as a lesser dish, but his chefs "decided to have some fun with it".

"We thought we should really make something that would be a spectacular feast for a celebration," he said.

1. give me you grand...

I will make you an omlette that is probably twice as good and then I'll kick your ass for being stupid enough to buy this thing.

2. I'll join in the ass-kicking

the very idea that THIS is how some people choose to spend extra cash. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

3. I can see spending money for

good food to an extent, but something like an omlette... give me a break. How can you not feel guilty eating something like that. You could take the same money and feed 30 people for a week.

5. Remember, it's not the omelette, it's the 10 ounces of caviar!

6. And also remember, no one has ordered it yet

so actually no one IS eating it.
