I'm not sure what is meant by

-- Spanish omelet is an omelette served with an often spicy sauce, etc. --

Is this a plain omelette served with a sauce? Presumably, it is an American designation like the preceding "Western omelet". In European English, a Spanish omelette is exactly the same thing as the "tortilla de patatas" already described here. -- Picapica 17:51, 20 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Seems not to say anything about French Omelette ? data64 02:03, 13 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In the "Escoffier Cook Book", Escoffier says, "...that it should be borne in mind that an omelet is really scrambled eggs enclosed in a coating of coagulated egg." I assume that this was written before the Julia Child quote and therefore might be better attributed to him.

Did u knew that karo is the omelettiest omelette du fomage in the whole world, even more than the ones in the pictures, and that is why she is the one and only ms. omelette du fomage? Did u knew that omelletes du fomage are sexy And i like omelettes du fomaage x 90... okeey.. 97! =)

Did I miss something here? Consideration for deletion of this portion of the article? Anyone?

The Indian omelette is a run-on sentence, and is also a recipe - not a description. Lib3rtine 13:54, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Omelettes are great with parmesan cheese. I'm eating one right now, comtaining sausage and cheese. Ghost of starman 16:15, 23 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

...Seems to me that several of the photos in this piece are of frittatas, not omelettes (i.e. the filling has been allowed to "set" within the eggs, not folded up inside). Anyone else noticed this, or does anyone agree? Snarfa 22:46, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why does this article use both spellings of omelette? Example:

...in the village and to prepare a huge omelet for his army the next day.[1]

On March 19, 1994, the largest omelette (1,383 ft²) in the world at the time was made with 160,000 eggs... --SonicEarth (talk) 03:02, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Milk? Water?

Forgive me for raising such a sensitive topic, but in the US (at least), most omelettes have milk beaten into the eggs. (Some people use *shudder* water.) Is there a reason that milk is not mentioned in the article? :-)

My understanding is that water creates more steam and puffs up the eggs far more than milk will, and from my cooking tests this seems true. Try just a little bit of water in the eggs next time you're making them rather than milk. Anyone have a source they could cite for this?--Talroth (talk) 23:39, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

omelette vs omelet

Someone recently edited the article to claim that "omelet" was an invalid spelling. I just changed the article back.

"Omelet" is an acceptable spelling according to both dictionary.com and wiktionary.org, so it should be acceptable. Viltris (talk) 08:26, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Asian omelets...

Egg foo yung (or Egg fooyong) is a sort of omelet, and should probably be mentioned and linked from here.

Additionally, there's a whole paragraph on Japanese omelets, but no mention of Tamago, or the fact that they have specialised omelet pans, and treat the eggs very carefully (strain the eggs through a wire strainer to remove chunky bits of the white, add sugar and soy sauce before cooking, cook at a really high heat in thin amounts, folding back to prodice a layered effect...)
