Talk:Sundae

message: While it may be a newspaper in Ithaca, it is still a legitmate news source, and the data in that story was not from an op-ed page, but from a news article.  I have restored it.  Cornell Rockey 18:39, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's a "community interest" piece about two schoolgirls speculating about dates, printed in a newspaper that is overwhelmingly likely to be POV regarding this issue. When citing claims in controversial sources, the usual solution is to attribute the claim to the person making it. I've rewritten your addition in this style, and stated the facts without the speculation. Anomie 19:18, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Don't kill the messenger, but isn't sundae just a different name for type of ice cream presentation?  I suspect that it was around for a long time outside around the world before people started calling it "sundae".  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.188.93.138 (talk) 21:38, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Is it anything new

message: I removed this sentence from the start of the first section of the article:
:According to the Webster & Merriam Dictionary, the origin of the term sundae came from the greek word sudaie, meaning treat.
Not only can I not find any such thing as a Webster & Merriam Dictionary, the Merriam-Webster dictionary at m-w.com lists the etymology simply as “probably alteration of Sunday.”  I suspect this Greek assertion was a hoax. — crism (talk) 17:45, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Etymology 

message: Perhaps, given that it is eaten, there should be something about its food value.  
Ice-cream sundae is a characteristic food item in modern western societies, consisting mostly of sugar and fat - two constituents recognised to be excessively consumed in some, but not all (*), of the most affluent societies to the detriment of their health.  
To omit this fundamental aspect is not to accurately describe the product in a balanced way and leaves the article reading somewhat like an advert for the product.  
(*) cf. USofA vs. Japanese diets.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.176.213.174 (talk) 13:11, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Food value / health implications 

message: Can't edit, however, it says it is eaten with an "18-karat gold spoon".
But the actual page for the sundae says "18-carat golden spoon".
Needs changing to accurately reflect the correct spelling. 77.86.122.25 (talk) 15:22, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

message: Plainfield, Illinois portion of the historical places:
Plainfield, Illinois is also claimed to be the home of the very first ice cream sundae.  Story says that a Plainfield druggist created the novelty after the urgings of patrons to serve something different.  Topping some ice cream with syrup, he named it the "sonntag" after his surname.  Sonntag means Sunday in German, thus the ice cream sundae was born.http://www.plainfield-il.org/visiting/villagehistory.php

message: I once heard data from a high school teacher in Derry, NH, U.S.A.. I think the teacher's name was A. Carnovale. The school was Pinkerton, Academy. In the late 1980s, Mr. Carnovale (s.p.?) said that: Derry, N.H. claimed that Derry was the birthplace of the first ice cream sundae. 
 
I believe Mr. Carnovale also said that: Derry, New Hampshire also claimed that: Derry was the first town to first sell baked potatoes. 
Maybe he meant that Derry was the first town, in the U.S., to sell them.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Maskedmoon (talk • contribs) 22:13, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The Wikipedia article on Derry, N.H. states that: the first potato planted in the United States, was in: Derry, N.H.. That could be what Mr. Carnolvale had said about potatoes and Derry, N.H.Maskedmoon (talk) 22:28, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
