WESTERN vs DENVER OMLET?
[edit]I learned in Home Economics in High School that a Western Ommlet has bacon or ham, onion, milk and eggs only. A Denver Ommlet also includes green peppers. Please confirm if this info is correct. I have believed this to be true for over 60 years. It makes sense that 2 different recipes would have different names.
Personally, I prefer NO green peppers in Western Ommlets, but love them in Spanish Ommlets.
ANYONE???🙄 2607:FEA8:7A80:10F4:2473:4CA5:D9F6:88B6 (talk) 05:55, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
- A lot of food questions don't have clearcut answers. Professional chef James Beard in 1975 wrote a newspaper column saying that the Western omelet and Denver omelet are the same dish, see his explanation. Schazjmd (talk) 23:35, 27 August 2022 (UTC)
L’omelette de la Mère Poulard
[edit]The photograph appears to show an ‘omelette soufflé’. The recipe given by Annette Poulard to Robert Viel states that she ‘…beats (the eggs) well…throw the eggs in and stir constantly…’. The photo is closer to an omelette where the egg mixture has been beaten to a froth and then cooked without stirring. Polkadotcycles (talk) 12:47, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
lead image
[edit]I'm thinking that masala omelet image is too busy for the lead image. Valereee (talk) 13:55, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
- Agree. I think the second image (browned omelet with herbs) would be a better lead image. Schazjmd (talk) 13:58, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
- I didn't love that one because it doesn't show that it's rolled/folded and filled, found one that shows that plus is large enough to take a close look. See what you think. Valereee (talk) 12:29, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
