Talk:Croquette

message: The lead should probably have a reference to Escoffier's definition of a croquette.  I have also propose a level three heading for each country.  Anyone who likes the croquettes of a given country, please modify the bolded country name using three equal signs (start and end) instead.  It will automatically be added to the TOC.   Those with more expertise may know how to do this en masse.   Codwiki (talk) 18:53, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

BTW Van Dobben and Kwekkeboom are made by the same company (as their vandobben.nl and kwekkeboom.nl whois info shows). They do taste slightly different, though.

message: I have changed the spelling to the more usual "croquette" throughout (apart from acknowleding in the intro the existence of the spelling "croquet").
I believe the article should be renamed Croquette, as not only is that easily the most common English-language form of the word, but it avoids any confusion with "croquet" (the game) and obviates the need for "(food)". At the moment, a simple move is not possible because "Croquette" already exists (as a re-direct to "Croquet (food)"). What's the procedure? -- Picapica 11:57, 28 May 2005 (UTC)

message: Is it just me, or does sausage, like, come in a lot of shapes?  I get the impression we're talking about a sausage patty shape here, but I think links are a more typical sausage shape.  And what's with not explaining what it's made of until three-quarters of the way thru the article?  I'm hesitant to change the article myself, not knowing much about it...

replies: text: Nothing to do with a sausage. This is a vegetable based food. I guess you COULD cook up a sausage croquette (the bread/potato exterior with sausage inside), but it would still be a croquette, and not a sausage patty. Quase 04:18, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

message: The article mentions potato croquettes with fillings. In England, croqettes will be purely mashed potato in breadcrumbs. If they include fish and are round, as the pictured round ones look, they're called "fish cakes". Maybe this should be included in the article?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.32.148.114 (talk) 00:45, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Ok, wikieditors; while some people are being unreasonably overzealous in their page wipes, it is true that this article needs more sources. Let's go get 'em! Zeng8r (talk) 20:28, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh, I agree. It's hard to source material that's been removed completely. Zeng8r (talk) 22:35, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

text: Disagree completely.  The responsibility is on the reverting editor to provide sources, too, by the way.  Please stop reinserting what appears to be misinformation.  JBsupreme (talk) 01:57, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

text: Wikipedia has a fairly strict policy regarding original research.  In fact, it is officially documented at Wikipedia:No original research.  I don't agree with the strong words being used by JB but in effect he is correct.  If you have proof of these variations, please provide citations for them.  It also concerns me that some of these variations are borderline trivial and aren't actually citing reliable sources but at this point I'm willing to compromise with some sources rather than none at all.

thread_title:  Sources and such 

message: Hi everyone. I'm a bit confused here. This article starts out by saying "A croquette is a small fried roll containing mashed potatoes," then launches into a long list of foods that may or may not have mashed potatoes in them. For most of these, like Dutch kroketten and Portuguese croquetes, the name makes it clear that they are somehow related. But the Russian котлета, it's not actually clear at all why they are in this list. And going down the list, it becomes unclear which ones have potatoes and which don't. If potatoes are not mentioned specifically for some country's version of croquettes, should we assume they are present (because the intro says so) or not? So... could somebody in the know please expand the intro to explain that some countries' "croquettes" aren't actually potato-based? And be more clear about why котлета are in this article? Thanks!
