Fromage - French (with other informal words such as "fromton" or "claquos")

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Omelette du fromage.

The only French I know, thanks to Dexter's Laboratory.

[–] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 20 points 1 week ago (4 children)

It's also incorrect! The dish is omelette au fromage. That's because it's an omelette with cheese and not of cheese.

[–] mannycalavera@feddit.uk 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's because it's an omelette with cheese and not of cheese

These are Americans we're talking about. Maybe it is an omelette of cheese?

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Disclaimer: not American, I just like cheese.
