    Whenever I screw up my omelette, I just pretend that I was making scrambled eggs from the start.

      Whenever I try to make an omelette and my roommate asks what am I making, I tell them eggs just so that if I do mess up they won't call me out on it.

      And if it gets burnt you can always call it a char grill. Nothing went wrong until it's burnt to ashes :P

      nono, at that stage they call it "blackened" or "charred".
      nothing went wrong unless someone gets poisoned. :P

    In France they only use 1 egg to make an omelette because 1 egg's an oeuf.

    I had an omelette like that this morning! And I stuffed it with fried rice, sriracha and hoisin sauce. Nice thing about an omelette is you can have it on the plate in minutes and it's good any time of the day.

    • @intractablemaskvpmGy
      @intractablemaskvpmGy 7 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      Actually you should do yerself in Tri lol. The Japanese call it "Omurice"... You know... Omelette Rice. And it is Bad Ass! But you should taste it first before you decide to do the deed. Omurice...!

      +BoloYung That's interesting, I forgot eggs technically have lives since they become the chicken at some point (even though refrigerating and other process might interrupt that).

    • @Eisofice
      @Eisofice 7 ปีที่แล้ว +92

      Opposite Lock like most eggs, the eggs need to be fertilised to turn into chickens... egg laying is chicken ovulation and we're kinda eating the leftovers.... yup that's kinda disgusting, you really can understand vegans sometimes.

      That's because we just took the french word and started using it in English instead of coming up with a different one.

    Kind of like Jacques Pepin & Julia Child's techniques. I love to watch them make omelettes! They're so fast! Very nice omelette Chef! I still need to master this. TFS :)) Happy Easter
