Käse (Germany)

I wonder what it's called in Austria

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago

Probably something like topfenschnarkel.

Ostur - Icelandic (yes, I've heard the -ur joke)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Ah yes, the synostics

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago (3 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Omelette du fromage.

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

[–] ImplyingImplications 20 points 1 day 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.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day 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?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

ngl it's about half and half whenever I make one. 🖐️🫣

Disclaimer: not American, I just like cheese.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Even if it was omelette of cheese it would be "omelette de fromage"

[–] JohnnyCanuck 5 points 1 day ago

Thank you, I knew what it meant to say, but my auto-translate (in my brain) pictured a disc of fried cheese initially, and I was wondering why it felt wrong. I know just enough French to get myself into trouble.
