Some tasty specials Chef Flyde is offering to celebrate Egg Week include [turkey](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/turkeysized-meatballs), great for a Thanksgiving treat, and caviar flavors among others. For those who don't mind the wait, the [largest egg ever in Britain](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-happy-egg-co-omelettes) will take about 45 minutes to cook thoroughly. Otherwise, [poached and fried options](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-gym-kitchen-hard-boiled-eggs) are available as well. Be prepared though because one ostrich egg is almost the equivalent of a dozen regular ones, so make sure you've fasted the night before or you bring some hungry pals along. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 7% | Activity: 33% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Egg Specialty Menus:** Restaurants offering specialty egg dishes to celebrate holidays or special occasions. - **Novelty Foods:** Restaurants offering oversized or unique food options to attract adventurous diners. - **Alternative Protein Sources:** Exploring alternative protein sources such as ostrich eggs for sustainable and ethical eating. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Restaurant:** Restaurants can create unique and memorable menu items to attract customers and generate buzz. - **Agriculture:** Farmers can explore alternative protein sources such as ostrich farming for a sustainable and ethical food industry. - **Tourism:** Restaurants offering novelty food items can become destination spots for tourists and foodies alike. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Meatball-Shaped Easter Eggs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meatballshaped-easter-egg.md) - [Seasoned Quail Eggs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seasoned-quail-eggs.md) - [Celebratory Egg Cafe Promotions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/national-egg-day-promotion.md) - [Golden Yolk Egg Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bird-bros-white-gold.md) - [Premium Egg Dishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/royal-eggs-benedict.md) - [Breakfast-Inspired Easter Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-egg-easter.md) - [Viral Egg Tasting Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/egg-flights.md) - [Egg-Centric Metaverse Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/american-egg-board.md) - [Versatile Frozen Omelettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frozen-omelettes.md)
