And 1 ostrich egg makes a delicious ommelette for 12 people.

Ah! the voice of experience :-)

Yes. The UCT mountain club occasionally took an ostrich egg and a four
inch nail to club meets on Table Mountain. As there were not usually more
than ten or so club members in the party, there was always sufficient for
lunch. Remember that 1 ostrich egg is approximately 24 hen eggs.
