Talk:Black velvet (cocktail)

message: A lifetime of original research tells me that a layered black velvet is rarer than hens's teeth (i.e. I have never even heard of it until now, let alone seen it) The "additional reference" cited below would appear to support my view. Only by mixing the stout and the champagne would you achieve the mourning black for the whole drink as is suggested as the purpose behind its invention. I would therefore submit that the article currently incorrectly asserts a (perfectly valid) variation as the only valid version. Thoughts? 86.161.108.64 (talk) 22:46, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Dale DeGroff, who I would consider an expert, says to mix, not layer. He implies that David Embury said the same thing. I think we should fix the article to say that layering is a variation. I will try to get to this later. One problem we have now is that the one source we have says to layer the champagne on top of the stout, but has a photo showing it the other way around. Kendall-K1 (talk) 23:19, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

message: Move to Wikibooks? No, because this article is more than a recipe, e.g. because of such historic reference to Bismarck. --89.57.26.245 20:27, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Someone keeps adding this information to the article, but I see nothing to suggest that it is accurate.  Anyone know what this is all about? -SpuriousQ (talk) 22:17, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

message: It is emphatically NOT true that the term ‘Poor man’s black velvet’ isn’t used in the U.K or Ireland. The section of the article that claims this even links to British website that uses the term and another link is to an American website that uses the term but makes no claim as to whether it is also used in Britain or Ireland or not. The author of the page on the American website may even be Irish himself (he’s called ‘Connor O’Toole’). The only link making this false claim is the one to the Malaysian tabloid. I would rewrite it but I don’t want to remove the link to the Malaysian reference altogether without discussing it here first. By the way, I’m English myself and use the phrase ‘poor man’s black velvet’ (original research, I know). Overlordnat1 (talk) 14:26, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Now improved. Do NOT revert. If you want to improve the section on ‘Poor man’s black velvet’ then please do so by removing the unreliable reference (the Malaysian tabloid ‘The Star’) and rewriting accordingly. Overlordnat1 (talk) 13:45, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
