          It’s also incorrect! The dish is omelette au fromage. 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?

            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.

            Even if it was omelette of cheese it would be “omelette de fromage”

          J’ai voulu vérifier l’orthographe, et autant c’est bon, autant a priori c’est spécifiquement le camembert, en tout cas d’après le wiktionnaire. Perso je l’utilise pour tous les fromages, mais y’a peut-être des puristes de l’argot qui m’y reprendraient.

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

        That sounds like the Dutch word for cheese, “kaas”. Only where you have a stumped /au̯ / sound, we have a long /a:/ sound.

        乾酪 (kanraku) – a formal or technical term, rarely used in everyday conversation.

        蘇 (so) – an ancient dairy food made by boiling down milk, somewhat like early cheese in Japan.
