omlette

my mother, father and nan also mentioned the 'egg bound' thing, but they also said stuff like, "don't swallow bubble gum or it'll stick to your heart, and then you'll die." so can't rely on anything they told me.

I've just had a 2 egg omelette with 180g mushrooms and a bit of laughing cow light, spread on the top and grilled. Yumsville!

Cheese, you just need to add cheese.

You are all missing THE most important instruction.

Separate the whites from the yokes. Whisk whites, then fold the yokes back in.

Twice the size and half the calories.

Paul Newman in Cool Hand Luke didn't appear to be egg bound and he ate fifty of them in an hour!!

Did you share a dressing room?

Ah thanks for confirming the egg bound memory

Are you northern?

Carlisle originally, so probably a northern saying.

You're not going to eat that bread/toast after it's been on that manky plastic table are you?

It's good wholesome Welsh outdoor mank, that. Far less risky than drinking from a glass at @rich p's.

Anyway, in a general sense, Brits are hopeless at omelettes. They make gigantic burnt egg sponges with loads of irrelevant crap in.

If you sharpen the whisk blades it cuts the calories in half.

Having a Spanish wife means omelettes (tortillas españolas) take on a whole new meaning.

True fact, I have never eaten an omelette in my life. Dull, but true.
