Researching French 17th century egg recipes, I found one using verjus (Le Patissier François, 1653) Going to test this in some omelettes (although lemon juice should suffice, in theory)

Verjus is acidic grape juice, and the idea is that acidity — much like salt — help the egg proteins to coagulate at lower temperatures, resulting in a more tender texture.

I have never seen a single omelette recipe suggest adding anything acidic. This is an unreasonably exciting development. Yeet, as the kids say.

hmmm. I would expect it to curdle the eggs but very curious how it turns out.

Yeah I would have assumed this. Will report back, eventually.
