| | Omelette Surprise | Explanation:
The original dish, attributed to the head chef at the Hotel de Paris in Monte Carlo in the 1890s, was known variously as omelette Norvégienne or omelette surprise. In German, many dishes of foreign origin may retain their original spellings or may be Germanized, so that in cookbooks and food magazines one may see baked alaska referred to by either of the French names or as Norwegische Omelette. German Wikipedia lists it as omelette surprise. In any case, the original dessert looked rather like an igloo. Hence, the reference to Norway in French, and to Alaska in English. |
