Talk:Vichyssoise

message: The claims of Louis Diat may or may not be true, but enough food writers and journalists believed him that nobody seems to have bothered to discredit his claim to having named a cold potato and leek soup "Vichyssoise" before anyone else. Also, the questions here below regarding the history of the Ritz seem unfounded, if we are to believe the 1911 advertisement for the hotel on this site:https://web.archive.org/web/20130401211256/http://www.famoushotels.org/article/1279 . That being said, it is unquestionable that he neither invented potato leek soup, it's method of preparation, nor even the use of milk or cream in the recipe. Substantial documentary evidence exists to prove that modern vichyssoise is made almost identically to the popular "Potage Parmentier" from the 18th-19th centuries and that Diat's true invention can be no more than the temperature at which the soup is served, and the name "Vichyssiose," assuming he did indeed create those two elements. As with any basic regional recipe, the recipes for Potage Parmentier contain variations regarding the inclusion or exclusion of a specific allium species, dairy product, Bouillon (broth), order of cooking, and proportions of ingredients, but it is beyond doubt that several traditional versions included all the ingredients and methods for a Vichyssiose.
The Louis Diat 1917 invention inspired by earlier French hot version seems likely as researched by Seanibus here:

But the date of 1917 and the location of Ritz Carleton NYC doesn't jibe with their corporate history . http://www.ritzcarlton.com/corporate/about_us/history.asp

The original RC did not even open until 1927, and even then it was not in NYC (its in Boston) so can someone correct this? I will see if i can come up with anything.--Bud 06:48, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

message: I added the pronounciation; however I am not sure it is in the correct format.  I am no expert on writing pronounciation guides as in a dictionary, but what I put is the best I could do.  If anyone is more skilled in this, feel free to change it - the basis for my pronounciation was the movie V for Vendetta, as I said on the main page. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 4.153.26.190 (talk • contribs) 18:04, 5 August 2006  (UTC)
:That pronunciation was actually incorrect - an example of hyperforeignism. I've added an IPA transcription with a note about the common mispronunciation. --Safalra 18:41, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

message: There is mention in the trivia section that this soup is called bushy schwa in Dublin. I did a google search and found nothing to back this up. In fact, I found evidence that in Dublin it is called Vichyssoise. Unless a reference can be found for this "fact", this information should be removed. For this reason, I have deleted it from the article. Clerks. (talk) 16:56, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

message: Should there be a pop culture section included? Vichyssoise is used in a line from the Mask:
The Mask: [to Tina] Kiss me, my dear, and I will reveal my croissant. I will spread your pate. I will dip my ladle in your vichyssoise. 
[Tina kicks him and scampers away] 
The Mask: [squeaky voice] She is so coy. 
[deep voice] 
The Mask: I love it!
