Sure. I admit that omelet is one of my least favourite egg dishes, but I
am sure that omelet lovers would find it satisfying. Yet, Jill is right
about the blue plate special. The term used to refer to an inexpensive
offering of meat and three vegetables. It is totally inappropriate to
use the term with a ham and cheese omelet with one side.
