Orange Omelette for Harlots and Ruffians (translated by Redon et al "The
Medieval Kitchen)

How to make an orange omelette - Take eggs and break them, with oranges, as
many as you like; squeeze their juice and add to it the eggs with sugar;
then take olive oil or fat, and heat it in the pan and add the eggs. This
was for ruffians and braken harlots
