Threads that you never quite had the bottle to start..

[Louisa]

Come on quids, you've been preaching that mantra day in day out for a long old time now. Wouldn't say you didn't have the bottle not to start a thread about it. More likely you're enjoying winding up the cunts ;-)

Hmm... that's as maybe but it wasn't too far from the truth or how some of us are feeling about the EDF.

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.

I see now ....

My mother called a Fritata a Spanish Omelette - or is that different again ?

[Otta]

Yeah the wife calls itba Spanish omelette. We're a bit common innit.

Love Spanish Omelette. It's an Irish twist on the omelette I believe. We taught the armada shipwreck peeps how to make it with spuds and they brought it home with them. No word of a lie.

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 )

The Armada 1588

Potato introduced into Ireland 1589

It's possible.
