Curiousity here, then, Gunthar. I'm thinking you're a native Texan? If your
family called these "Ranch Eggs", I'm assuming that the name was somewhat
common in your area, similarly to the name "John Marzetti" given, in this
area, to that mixture called, "Goulash" (tomato sauce, onions, hamburger and
onions) by many others around the US. Where would the name, "Huevos
Rancheros", which is simply Spanish for Ranch Eggs come in? Does the usage
of the same name in a different language allow for an entirely different
dish?
