Do you know that ...John, that sounds perfect to me. Do you know that I was a short-order cook in a little grill in N.C. when I was in college. I made a lot of egg sandwiches.<br /><br />I remember that you had a great looking omelette over at that restaurant in the Sologne -- A la tête de lard, was that it? -- when we went there a couple of years ago. I was sorry I hadn't ordered the same.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-64359646393292484222009-12-29T17:43:11.645+01:002009-12-29T17:43:11.645+01:00Looks great!

I have to say that I have a weakness for the classic short-order-cook style omelet (if done well).<br /><br />The fillings (e.g., mushrooms, onions, bacon, peppers) cook on one section of the grill. When they are ready, the eggs are spread over another section. Fillings and a few slices of American "cheese" go on top, then the eggs are quickly folder over (like a burrito).<br /><br />The eggs are just-cooked, and the whole thing is moist, gooey, and delicious.<br /><br />Mock me if you will... :-)Johnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-52432549990351790282009-12-29T17:38:57.973+01:002009-12-29T17:38:57.973+01:00If it says Parmentier or Parmentière, it means pot...If it says Parmentier or Parmentière, it means potatoes, no?

Your omelet looks great and I like potatoes with eggs too. I often had the Parmentier omelet in Paris in the 60s.<br /><br />Hmm, I just googled "Parmentier" and know why the omelet was named for him.<br />Check it out for a post sometime.Evelynnoreply@blogger.com
