FORGET heading out for brunch this weekend.
Now you can feed all your mates with one giant ostrich egg - which is the equivalent of 24 ordinary chicken ones.
That's right, Waitrose is now stocking the enormous 2kg monsters, which are every bodybuilder's dream, but you're going to need a bigger egg cup.
Shopping at Britain's poshest supermarket doesn't come cheap, and you'll have to fork out £19.99 for just one of these bad boys.
To put that into context, you can buy a dozen eggs for £1.75 at Tesco - so 24 would cost you just £3.50.
Ostrich eggs normally have 4mm thick shells, and cooks are advised to open them with a HAMMER.
Light and buttery in flavour, they take a whopping 50 minutes to hard boil and 10 minutes to cook as a super-sized omelette.
And, whereas a normally egg contains around 80 calories, the ostrich eggs hold a huge 2,000 cals - which is a woman's entire daily recommended allowance. Gulp.
Waitrose's eggs are supplied by Clarence Court and come from a farm in Lincolnshire, where they breed free-range South African ostriches.
The ostrich-laying season only runs from March/April to September, and the 27-strong flock are expected to produce around 2,300 eggs - hence the high price tag.
Waitrose only has a limited stock, but Londoners can also get their ostrich egg fix at Florentine, in Lambeth.
