Käse (Germany)

I wonder what it's called in Austria

[–] rustyfish@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

Probably something like topfenschnarkel.

[–] domi@lemmy.secnd.me 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Depending on where in Austria:

Kas, Käs or Kaas

Sounds like a Portuguese creole or a language similar to Portuguese, is it? :)

It’s Indonesian :)

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

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

Omelette du fromage.

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

[–] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 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.

[–] mannycalavera@feddit.uk 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?

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 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.

[–] Courantdair@jlai.lu 4 points 1 day ago

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

[–] JohnnyCanuck@lemmy.ca 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.

For the non-native: that 'S' is pronounced 'sh' and 'j' is pronounced 'y'. It almost sounds like shite.
