II •• • what, may I aSR again, is an omelette? It is a little like scrambled eggs (but
not quite) folded into sort of a self envelope. Its vanations occur when you
tuck some special kind of filling inside. The omelette is such an accommodating
dish. It can be served by itself, with only a salad and a glass of wine;
it has its own dignity as an entree in a larger meal; and it will also do for a
dessert ... "
