Notes: Last night I mentioned to monshu that I'd learned the Indonesian for "fried egg" and it was telur mata sapi or "cow eye egg". As odd as this sounded, I told him, it made much more sense to me than German Spiegelei or "mirror egg". This prompted me to ask him for the French, but he didn't know it so here we are. As sunny side up seems to be the default, most of these languages don't have a lexicalised term; if it's important to specify, one says the equivalent of "cooked only on one side".

I used to cause hilarity among my in laws by saying ovos stragados instead of ovos stralados. "would you like some spoiled eggs?"

Better or worse than "ovos strapados"?

I always ask my kids when we're about to drive off, "are you strapadoed?" One day my mother in law overheard and practically dropped her amaretto.
