Talk:Chili oil

message: As I have elsewhere noted, an article entitled “chili oil” ought to cover chili oil generally, as opposed to focussing on the chili oils of the Far East.  Since chilies (as opposed to peppercorns) originate in the Americas and were first used as a foodstuff there, we should expect chili oils to have made their first appearances in Meso- and South America.  In any case, from “Under the Spell Of Quetzalcóatl” by Megan Harlan in the New York Times, one can see that chili oil is used in present Mexican cuisine (though the article merely mentions this use). —SlamDiego←T 10:01, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it already covers "chili oil" generally. Yes, the article leans heavily towards East Asian cuisine, but why would you even consider this to be a problem? My guess is that nobody is stopping you from mentioning non-Asian cuisine. It naturally leans heavily towards East Asian cuisine because it is a major East Asian sauce, and apparently not a major sauce in other cuisines. Is there something wrong if a spaghetti article mentioned Italy just because tomatos are from non-Italian South America, and noodles came from non-Italian China? --Bxj (talk) 15:55, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

message: I propose that Chili crisp be merged into Chili oil. I think that the content in the Chili crisp article can easily be explained in the context of Chili oil, especially as additions such a crispy garlic, black beans and the like are already mentioned in the Chili oil article. Further, the Chili oil article is of a reasonable size that the merging of Chili crisp will not cause any problems as far as article size is concerned. Geoff |  Who, me? 22:05, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

text: Totally waffling on this. There's a difference, but they're related condiments. Maybe try to expand chili crisp and see?—valereee (talk) 14:20, 27 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, I've easily expanded Chili crisp into something that wouldn't work as a subsection of this article, and I suspect I can keep going. I think merging isn't necessary. I'd like to suggest we close this discussion as no consensus to merge. —valereee (talk) 17:57, 27 November 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  Merger proposal 

message: Reopening the discussion about merging Chilli crisp into Chilli oil.
The chilli crisp article is about a very common subtype of Chinese chilli oil: chilli oil with sediment. This is in fact the default meaning of chilli oil in many contexts across China, e.g. if you go to a restaurant and ask for chilli oil, this is what you will get. In addition, the article is largely about the very recent North American discovery of, and consequent fad for chilli oil. It uses a term throughout ("chilli crisp") which, at least in English, I suspect has been recently coined specifically in the North American context. It refers throughout to the condiment as a "hot sauce", a classification totally alien to its Chinese origin, and which I suggest was used in the referenced articles simply as a familiar term and crutch to help introduce US readers to the condiment. Hot sauce is a purely American phenomena, and, apart from both featuring chilli peppers, there is almost no point of similarity.
I suggest this be merged in as a subsection of Chilli oil, perhaps as "North American reception" or something similar. Prime Entelechy (talk) 15:08, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
