But the problem here is not the dish itself. It's the person serving it. An omelette (or and omelet for that matter) and a frittata, are not the same dish, and where I grew up (overseas) neither one is posh. If I asked for a frittata and got an omelette, I would be really disappointed. Anyone who is serving a frittata as 'poshified' omelette really has no culinary understanding of either one, and is probably just a twit. Saying a frittata is posh omelette would be like insisting that beef wellington is a posh meat pudding. Indeed, though they have similar ingredients, the dishes are different. It's the person who is poncified, not the dish.

Spanish omelette has to have potatoes with the eggs (and generally onions), frittata doesn't have to have potatoes/onions. Frittata can have anything with the eggs. It should be finished in the oven, whereas sp omelette should be fried on both sides.


Sp omelette and frittata differ from a standard omelette in that they have ingredients mixed throughout the eggs, whereas omelette is folded over the ingredients.

Given my Spanish connections Mick, I'd love to know where that story came from.

Given that it's highly unlikely the spud was a staple part of Irish or any European agriculture at the time of the Armada I think it's one of those folklore stories that aren't remotely true ( see also the L

Elfante de Castile )

      Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertises times. Hope you got it sorted x

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.

      Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      By Jenijenjen · Posted

      My memory, admittedly not very reliable these days, places the shop on the block on the left hand side just before Burgess Park going towards Camberwell. Have also found a reference to Franklins Antiques being located at 157 Camberwell Road which is on that block. This is a screen shot obtained from Google maps of that address which accords with my memory except the entrance door was on the right hand side, where the grey door is, rather than in the centre.
