There's a bit of confusion (and a quick search on Google seems to support this) about whether Fritatta is Spanish or Italian. Quite possibly it is both? Can anyone substantiate this? Kaese 06:55, 23 February 2007 (UTC)kaese

Italian, definitely. There is no double 't' in Spanish (a literal translation to said language would be 'fritada'). Confusion may arise due to similitudes with Spanish tortilla, a thick omelette (unrelated to Mexican tortillas). 193.145.39.68 14:58, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

In Italy, frittata mainly contains onions or other vegetables, rarely meat. And is not baked or broiled. 17:07, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm Italian and I've never heard of baked frittata. The basic difference with a French omelette is that it is tougher. The shape has to be well defined, like in the Spanish tortilla, but tortilla is always made with potatos and onions and is a bit thicker. --212.68.222.203 13:49, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

I think the baking came about as an innovation, an easier way to get a firm frittata without burning it in the pan. Similarly meat is something that you can assume would be included if people in general hadn't historically been to poor to have much. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.72.21.221 (talk) 03:28, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
