While happily eating a couple of boiled eggs for my breakfast today, it occurred to me that they didn’t really present a very bulky meal. Which led me to wonder who invented/discovered omelettes which present a far more satisfactorily bulky-looking breakfast.

We laud various inventors/discoverers for such ideas as steam engines, penicillin, etc., but I wonder who discovered that vigorously whipping eggs resulted in the joy of omelettes.

If it comes to that, who discovered eggs were edible in the first place ?

Just a little harmless breakfast musing :-) :-)

Can you think of any other unrecognised discoveries or inventions which we all take for granted – they all “started” somewhere.

Mesopotamia maybe
The guy who invented the tasty snack of coating eggs in sausage meat, then rolling them in bread crumbs was a Mr Scott chegg
