M.F.K. Fisher: F is for Foo Yeung

F is for Foo Yeung.

I keep calling Foo Yeung "Foo Goo," since that's what my grandfather used to call me (no, I don't know why he called me that).

Anyway, it's basically an omelette, however, Fisher states that is is similar to a frittata. It's made up of diced onions, celery, green pepper, and mushrooms and eggs. I think of it as fried rice, without the rice. She does note that other things can be added to her recipe--shrimp, cooked rice, chicken, fried almonds and "minced cooked porkhambeefvealfish."

The main thing I learned making this was that I don't like celery in my eggs. I would not make this again, I would just make fried rice. I love me some fried rice.
