Talk:Blooming onion

message: Nothing in the supplied reference supports the caloric or trans-fats values stated in the section.  I removed it.  If someone can find a reference for that data, great. -- wfaulk 09:08, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Added the CSPI reference that the material was drawn from.  It would have taken about 5 seconds to find it via google search, which would generally be viewed as more constructive than reverting. Old64mb 07:49, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

text: There isn't that much fat in a properly fried food, the oil is the cooking medium, not an ingredient. Yeah eggs have kind of a lot of fat, but how many eggs are there in that breading? If you take out the onion (effectively zero calories), how much food could there POSSIBLY be? The 2200+ calorie mark seems ridiculous.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.73.70.113 (talk) 00:42, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  there is no way for the onion to have that many calories, but the article says onion+dressing. even then its a lot, that dressing must be pure fat Harroyo (talk) 08:20, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

message: I cut this from the article: 
"The depiction of the blooming onion as a flower is significant as it approximates the appearance of a Waratah, the floral emblem of New South Wales (Australia's most populous state)." 
since it seems rather out of place and not related to the rest of the text. If anyone can add a citation (or can confirm that this is not just an American dish) please do so. -- phoebe / (talk to me) 06:42, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: As part of their "Australian theme" shtick, The Outback Restaurant used to claim that all, or nearly all, of their dishes were Australian.   They apparently don't claim this any more.   "Blooming" or "Bloomin'" is an minced oath formerly common in Australia  and the name of this dish is therefore a sort of pun.   However this dish is unknown in Australia  and  the onion varieties generally grown in Australia are rather smaller than Vidalia onions  and not very suitable for the preparation of the dish.

replies: text:  Aha! that makes a lot of sense. I had forgotten about the Outback's "Australian" theme playing into it. Still seems like making a reference to Australia then would be confusing, if the dish is unknown there. cheers, -- phoebe / (talk to me) 21:31, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

message: This article gets a lot of edits from people trying to claim that some restaurant or the other invented the dish.  Apparently a lot of restaurants make this claim.
We're going to need a published WP:Reliable Source before we include any of them.
