Ah!  Huevos Rancheros.  Of course the truth may be gleaned by studying
the Book of Refreshments, Chapter 3, Verses 44 through 55.

( http://www.bookofrefreshments.com/refresh3.html#44 )


44. It came to pass that the Master did wander far to the east, for at
that time he was not greatly appreciated in the land of his birth.

45. There he did walk through a village, and in its public square he
found many cooks quietly discussing what to do with an unexpected
bounty of eggs.

46. "We should fry them in olive oil until they are golden on the
outside and softish in the middle," said one cook.

47. "Or in lard," suggested another.

48. Then a third said, "Then we could top them with a cooked salsa
picante, chopped onions, cilantro leaves, and the like."

49. Then the first cook did speak again, saying "Ah, yes. These eggs
will make excellent huevos rancheros."

50. The Master was then overcome with the spirit of the Great Powers.

51. And he did knock some of the cooks down, and push some of the
cooks, and did tread on the toes of the others.

52. Then did he speak most powerfully, "Blasphemy! True Huevos
Rancheros must be an omlette made with a sharp cheese, sausage, bell
peppers, and spices like cayenne or chili powder, and then topped off
with salsa!"

53. And then did the Master realize that he was outnumbered by a
disturbing amount, and that he should probably be leaving.

54. And the cooks did stand up and brush off their aprons and gather
themselves together in a way that just happened to encircle the Master.

55. Then was the Master beaten most severely, and somehow got cayenne
rubbed into his most delicate places.
