Just more Oma-isms to add to the list.
Seriously though, I think that noseboy/blanket stuff is just a pig-in-a-blanket, and that handfruit/shingle thing is eggs, no idea about that mystery thing, and that warmy/lid thing is probably coffee with foam on top. -
According to Gateworld, Oma says this:
OMA: Frank, I need a nose boy in a blanket, two hen fruit wrecked on a shingle with a mystery in the alley, a warm mead with a mouldy lid, and two checkerboards, alright? Oh yeah, hold the pig.
"Hen fruit" is obviously an egg, like PG15 said. "Wrecked on a shingle" sounds like it's fried or something. "Mead" is an alcoholic drink right? I'm not sure if she actually got Daniel a beer, or the writers just thought mead sounded cooler than coffee. "Pig" would be the bacon that Daniel declined.SQUEE like no one's listening.

It was great that Oma gave Daniel his answers directly in the rest of the episode(but, as we all know, the shortest distance between two points is a curved line in relativity
). If only all women gave direct answers

Caboose: They could be worse?
Church: Nope, no matter how bad they seem, they can't be any better, and they can't be any worse, because that's the way things f***ing are, and you better get used to it Nancy. Quit-yer-b****ing.

For all we know, these may just be Ancient terms for their own foods.OMA: Frank, I need a nose boy in a blanket, two hen fruit wrecked on a shingle with a mystery in the alley, a warm mead with a mouldy lid, and two checkerboards, alright? Oh yeah, hold the pig.
"Noseboy in a blanket" does sound a bit like pigs in a blanket, especially if you think of "Noseboy" in the context of Pinocchio. Funny, I never thought of Pinocchio's nose as a sausage before...
"Two Henfruit Wrecked on a Shingle with a Mystery in the Alley" - fried eggs with some kind of surprise dish between them?
"Mouldy lid" - sounds to me like "mushroom cap."Comment

It's classic American Diner Lingo or Diner Speak.According to Gateworld, Oma says this:
OMA: Frank, I need a nose boy in a blanket, two hen fruit wrecked on a shingle with a mystery in the alley, a warm mead with a mouldy lid, and two checkerboards, alright? Oh yeah, hold the pig. However, the GW transcript got some of the terms wrong.
It should read:
Frank, I need a Noah's boy in a blanket. Two henfruit, wrecked on a shingle with a mystery in the alley. A wormy with a moldy lid and two checkerboards, alright?
Noah's boy - slice of ham
Blanket - sandwich
Hen Fruit: Eggs
Wrecked: Scrambled
Shingle: Toast
Mystery in the Alley - a side of Hash
Eve with a Moldy Lid - apple pie with a slice of cheese (wormy for apple?)
Checkerboard - a Waffle

I was always wondering, what she meant. I don't know how they translated it. Did anyone see that in another language?Why be difficult?
Put some effort in and be impossible!Comment

It was great to listen to Oma spout some different things for a change. Unfortunately she goes from indiscernible ascended Ancient speech to indiscernible diner shorthand. It was fun.
