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 )

      Family holiday - south of France - by train?

      By Moovart · Posted

      Do check out changing at Lille if it's possible, as is much easier than changing stations in Paris.  I did London to Montpellier changing at Lille which was very straightforward but it was a little while ago.

      Family holiday - south of France - by train?

      By Cyclemonkey · Posted

      We go to the South of France by train most summers.   It is pretty easy and you get to arrive right in the centre of the city.  TGVs are generally efficient, reliable and comfortable. Unfortunately the direct London to Marseille Eurostar train seems to have been a  victim of Brexit so you have to change in Paris - most South bound service go from  Gare de Lyon - about a 15 min RER rise from Gare du Nord. Allow plenty of time travelling back from Gare du Nord, it always was horrid but has reach new levels of chaos since Brexit. I would recommend, at least for the home leg, booking the entire journey through Eurostar. That way if your French train is delayed or cancelled and you miss your Eurostar connection back to London,  Eurostar will get you on to a different train home. As for destinations - there is a lot of the South of Fra.ce to choose from.  What are you looking for?     Also Ouigo trains can be a cheaper option than TGVs, but watch out you have to pay extra for things like luggage and seat reservations.  Also they sometimes stop at TGV stations outside the city centre.

      Do what I do and stick some of these folk on your ignore list.  It's great fun, they just rant away and you will be totally oblivious to it.
