Having recently participated in a notability discussion related to restaurant reviews, I did some research and created this subpage: Notable Restaurants needing articles to assist and prompt editors who might be interesting in expanding restaurant coverage in WP. -- Mike Cline ( talk) 17:06, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
Inspired by a DYK on the main page concerning grapes, I have created an article for the Thomcord variety, which happens to be my favorite... when I can find it! It has been nominated for DYK, and I plan to put it up for GAC and possibly FAC very soon. Writing about grapes (instead of lemurs—my specialty) was a very educational experience. Yet I'm worried that my lack of experience in this field may necessitate some attention from an expert. Would someone who is more knowledgeable of grapes please look over the article before I post it for GAC? (I will be posting this message on WikiProject Wine as well.) – VisionHolder « talk » 23:42, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
The article Mosodeng is being discussed concerning whether it is suitable for inclusion as an article according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mosodeng until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. JeepdaySock (AKA, Jeepday) 16:29, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
I thought people here would be interested in a discussion I just started at Talk:Chili con carne. I think that article name is incorrect, and it should be called Chili (stew).

I've had my account here for a long time, but I'm not a very active editor, so I don't know all the procedures. Apologies if this isn't the way to do this. Sugar panning is a "high" importance stub. Cold panned process is a "low" importance stub. Both are about essentially the same thing. It seems to me that cold panned should be merged into sugar panning. I've borrowed Sugar Confectionery Manufacture from the library and will be updating sugar panning anyway. -- Elijah ( talk) 05:27, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

Apparently, part of the American Super Bowl ritual includes a Seven layer dip. Although it's a few days late, just figured someone (esp. Americans?) on this Wikiproject may be interested in expanding Seven layer dip or Dip (food)? Perhaps by next year? :-) Just a thought. Shreevatsa ( talk) 08:08, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
I see this as another attempt to Chinese-everything that's Taiwanese. Bubble tea or boba is purely Taiwanese. Grilled squid is also purely Taiwanese. All foods have its origins. American hot dogs derived from German frankfurter, so why is it called German hot dogs? Did Taiwanese oyster vermicelli really come from China? Please look into it. Are they exactly alike? If not, it should not be listed as sub-category of Chinese food. What about eel noodles? I don't think it came from China. What about the Taiwanese foods that have Japanese influence? Why is Taiwanese food not listed as a sub-category of Japanese food? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.165.229.45 ( talk • contribs)

Discussion at talk:gyros. IMO these are content forks and should be merged; there isn't any significant regional difference (certainly the Turkish one is just the Greek with a Turkish name; I haven't been to Lebanon), and what there is can be more coherently illustrated by describing them together. Also, AFAIK "gyros" is not a singular form in English, or at least not a common one, so the page should be moved, maybe to gyro (food). — kwami ( talk) 22:56, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi everyone! Recently I've started dealing with Template:Pasta the articles on pasta types. First of all, these are almost all woefully weak; there's a lot of expansion and maybe merging needed. But I'm here asking for help from anyone with a camera or some culinary skills. While some of the articles have great pictures, most have none at all. Some of the ones that do have very low quality images, or ones where the pasta is heavily sauced or a part of a dish and not the image's primary focus.
Basically, what I'm asking for are photos of pasta types for the articles that need new or better ones. Ideally these should be unsauced and easy to see. Cooked or uncooked are fine, and how much pasta is in the image is up for whatever you think is best. This should be pretty easy for some of them; I'm sure some of you have pastas in your cabinet that you can take photos of, or maybe you're a better sleuth than I am and can find photos online. Hell, if you find or make some good stuff maybe you'll find a barnstar coming your way. Thanks to anyone who can help!-- Yaksar (let's chat) 07:18, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
Howdy, After seeing an article mentioning an hangover preventative called Mercy I was looking for sources to see if it passed WP:N. What I found I put in User:Joe407/Mercy (drink). I was wondering if anyone has seen other WP:RS that could give what to work with in creating an article. (of course, editing is also welcome.) Joe407 ( talk) 16:56, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

hi all
I stumbled on the entry on chocolate "bean to bar" and I should point that the list really has a lot of very misleading information. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_bean-to-bar_chocolate_manufacturers
In order to solve this there are 2 options imho: changing the title to something more open like "list of chocolate makers" or start a extremely difficult debate to define what bean-to-bar should be and in extension even on an etymology level what "chocolate" is.
So I would suggest in the short term to rename the title of the page as a fair and honest correction, but user -- Kateshortforbob talk very kindly pointed out I cannot do that as a new user. She also suggested to ask for someone here at Food to assists me on "moving" this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by EvertJDK ( talk • contribs) 16:17, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
Hello could people take a look at the coconut oil article and give independent third party thoughts on what's going on? Thanks. Lambanog ( talk) 19:41, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
I have already posted on all the related talk pages I can find but had no response so far. I am not an experienced contributor so would really appreciate some guideance from someone who knows their way around. What I am aiming to do it put together one page where users can find links to all Wikipedia articles on non-alcoholic drinks, divided into branded products, traditional drinks, and 'Mocktails'. Maybe a list of hot beverages could be included too? It seems like such an obvious idea I can't understand why it hasn't been done already. So I have expanded Non-alcoholic beverage with all the drinks I could find, and split into sections as I have said. There was no response to that so I guessed that must have been OK. But looking at Drink the page has it that a soft drink is a drink without alcohol, even though the actual article on soft drinks more reasonably defines the term as to with the presence of CO2 and sweeteners. That was my understanding too. Even more worryingly, someone has stated there that 'Non-alcoholic beverages are drinks that usually contain alcohol'! I cannot understand this at all... My understanding was that a Non-alcoholic beverage was a drink that doesn't contain alcohol, am I wrong? My view was to distinguish alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, with perhaps a third category for low-alcohol / reduced alcohol drinks, and perhaps 'Mocktails' such as Virgin Mary etc. Can someone please help me make sens of this all? I'm finding it frustrating because I feel like I'm working in a vacuum without anyone to talk it over with and give me advice how to proceed. Thanks in advance.

I heard that phosphates were making a comeback in a few hip niche markets, and fondly recalled visiting one of the US's few functioning phosphate soda fountains in the 1980s, so started this stub.

I am pretty new but could not find the answer. There is a talk page for Agedama, but the article is redirected to Tenkasu, so should the project just be removed from the talk page for Agedama?

Following the MFD Wikipedia:WikiProject Coca-Cola has now been merged into Beverages Task Force. All the project pages have now been moved to subpages of the task force and the project banner now uses {{ WPFOOD}}.-- Salix ( talk): 09:18, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
Almond paste is made from ground almonds or almond meal and sugar, typically 50-55%, with a small amount of cooking oil, beaten eggs, heavy cream or corn syrup[1] added to bind the two ingredients. It is similar to marzipan but marzipan contains more sugar than almond paste, and often contains additional ingredients such as food preserves and food coloring. Almond paste has much less sugar, typically 50-55% compared to 75-85% sugar for marzipan of cheap quality. Almond paste is used as a filling in pastries, but it can also be found in chocolates and as a higher quality alternative to marzipan. In commercially manufactured almond paste, ground apricot or peach kernels are sometimes added to keep the cost down.'Italic text

Just had to share this as both a fun image from yesterday, and a reminder of how tasty yesterday's phosphate soda was. It was a "Japanese thirst killer", grape juice with orgeat, angostura bitters and phosphate. [1] It's good to see this rather archaic drink ingredient still holding in there. MatthewVanitas ( talk) 23:51, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
I am working on a new article for here called Spaghetti Tacos. They have become widely popular enough to have an article.
I would like to know if there is some where I can Templates for food articles or something. I have looked at other articles but could not find anything that could fit. I was thinking to put how they became about at the top. withen the show section and real world happenings or something. Any pointers for creating this type of article. Thanks please respond.

As the Diet Pepsi article is lacking in reliable sources and does not currently live up to the content guidelines in the manual of style, I drafted up a proposed update in my user sandbox--with a focus on bringing the article closer to the Good Article criteria.
An inquiry on the article's Talk page explains a bit more of the background detail. Would anyone be able to take a peek at the draft update, and share your thoughts on whether it is ready to be implemented? I feel that it would be significant improvement, but given the depth of the content, it could certainly benefit from a fresh set of eyes or two. Please feel free to respond directly here, on the article's Talk page, or if you prefer you're welcome to jump in and make edits directly to my userspace draft.

The structure shown for spilanthol is incorrect and should be replaced with the correct structure. The structure shown is for Undeca-2E,7Z,9E-trienoic_acid_isobutylamide.
Spilanthol is (2E,6Z,8E)-deca-2,6,8-trienoic acid N-isobutyl amide. The structure shown has one extra carbon and therefore the double bonds are in the wrong places. Rbcody ( talk) 21:24, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

My husband and I were wondering where you can find fresh pearl onions. He wanted to try his hand at pickling them. I know you can find jars of them in the super markets, but they are precooked. I'd hate to have to try and find someone in Europe to ship them to me :)

I just wanted to bring this article to the Wikiproject's attention. It's already tagged for Wikiproject Television but I also took the liberty of adding a food and drink tab since it relates to food and drink. If someone gets the chance and could take a look at it I'd appreciate it. I'm slowly (very slowly) trying to rehab it a little bit and expand it but due to lack of time and being able to find resource to source from it's going slowly. Any extra eyes would be appreciated. Thanks. Cat-five - talk 07:50, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
Hey all - this article is currently at FAC, where it's been suggested to get some additional copyediting help to improve prose. I'd really appreciate any assistance, if anyone's willing to pitch in a bit. Cheers, -- Cirt ( talk) 04:08, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
Hi all - considering that you are all interested in food in one way or another, you may be interested in participating in the Bacon Challenge 2012. The Bacon Challenge is an annual celebration of bacon on Wikipedia in which editors come together to help create, expand, and improve Wikipedia's coverage of bacon. It's open to everyone and lasts for more than half a year, giving participants plenty of time to work as they please. A fun part of the Challenge is the Bacon WikiCup, an event in which editors score points for their contributions and compete to get the most points in a friendly, productive competition. The winner walks away with a trophy, top contributors in certain categories get barnstars, and all participants receive a participation medal (though the ultimate goal is to have fun and help Wikipedia, of course). The Challenge is just starting, so now would be the best time to sign up.
I could write more, but I wouldn't want to write a big wall of text. If you think you're interested, please check out the links in my post to learn more, and sign up here if you wish. Also, if you think you know anyone else that might be interested in this, feel free to let them know. Thanks for reading, ~ Super Hamster Talk Contribs 06:11, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
If someone prefers to eat their strawberries raw, that does not make them a raw foodist. Raw foodism is a cult-like lifestyle in which cooking food is considered almost evil, but most people who have no qualms in having their food baked or fried regularly also consume raw foods. Therefore I find it curious, and actually somewhat annoying, that "raw", in food-related articles, often links to Raw foodism, as in the lead of the Gazpacho article: "Gazpacho is a cold Spanish tomato-based raw vegetable soup". After all, "vegetable" does not Easter-egg out to Veganism, and so on, so why relate conventional rawness of some food to this cult thing? Note also that Raw food redirects to Raw foodism, and that Category:Raw foods is a subcategory of Category:Raw foodism instead of the other way around. What do others think? -- Lambiam 10:54, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

hi all
I stumbled on the entry on chocolate "bean to bar" and I should point that the list really has a lot of very misleading information. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_bean-to-bar_chocolate_manufacturers
In order to solve this there are 2 options imho: changing the title to something more open like "list of chocolate makers" or start a extremely difficult debate to define what bean-to-bar should be and in extension even on an etymology level what "chocolate" is.
So I would suggest in the short term to rename the title of the page as a fair and honest correction, but user -- Kateshortforbob talk very kindly pointed out I cannot do that as a new user. She also suggested to ask for someone here at Food to assists me on "moving" this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by EvertJDK ( talk • contribs) 16:17, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

I have already posted on all the related talk pages I can find but had no response so far. I am not an experienced contributor so would really appreciate some guideance from someone who knows their way around. What I am aiming to do it put together one page where users can find links to all Wikipedia articles on non-alcoholic drinks, divided into branded products, traditional drinks, and 'Mocktails'. Maybe a list of hot beverages could be included too? It seems like such an obvious idea I can't understand why it hasn't been done already. So I have expanded Non-alcoholic beverage with all the drinks I could find, and split into sections as I have said. There was no response to that so I guessed that must have been OK. But looking at Drink the page has it that a soft drink is a drink without alcohol, even though the actual article on soft drinks more reasonably defines the term as to with the presence of CO2 and sweeteners. That was my understanding too. Even more worryingly, someone has stated there that 'Non-alcoholic beverages are drinks that usually contain alcohol'! I cannot understand this at all... My understanding was that a Non-alcoholic beverage was a drink that doesn't contain alcohol, am I wrong? My view was to distinguish alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, with perhaps a third category for low-alcohol / reduced alcohol drinks, and perhaps 'Mocktails' such as Virgin Mary etc. Can someone please help me make sens of this all? I'm finding it frustrating because I feel like I'm working in a vacuum without anyone to talk it over with and give me advice how to proceed. Thanks in advance.

I heard that phosphates were making a comeback in a few hip niche markets, and fondly recalled visiting one of the US's few functioning phosphate soda fountains in the 1980s, so started this stub. Thought the Project might find it interesting, or want to update it with the minor comeback phosphates are making. MatthewVanitas ( talk) 18:07, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

I am pretty new but could not find the answer. There is a talk page for Agedama, but the article is redirected to Tenkasu, so should the project just be removed from the talk page for Agedama?

Almond paste is made from ground almonds or almond meal and sugar, typically 50-55%, with a small amount of cooking oil, beaten eggs, heavy cream or corn syrup[1] added to bind the two ingredients. It is similar to marzipan but marzipan contains more sugar than almond paste, and often contains additional ingredients such as food preserves and food coloring. Almond paste has much less sugar, typically 50-55% compared to 75-85% sugar for marzipan of cheap quality. Almond paste is used as a filling in pastries, but it can also be found in chocolates and as a higher quality alternative to marzipan. In commercially manufactured almond paste, ground apricot or peach kernels are sometimes added to keep the cost down.'Italic text

Just had to share this as both a fun image from yesterday, and a reminder of how tasty yesterday's phosphate soda was. It was a "Japanese thirst killer", grape juice with orgeat, angostura bitters and phosphate. [1] It's good to see this rather archaic drink ingredient still holding in there.

I am working on a new article for here called Spaghetti Tacos. They have become widely popular enough to have an article.
I would like to know if there is some where I can Templates for food articles or something. I have looked at other articles but could not find anything that could fit.

As the Diet Pepsi article is lacking in reliable sources and does not currently live up to the content guidelines in the manual of style, I drafted up a proposed update in my user sandbox--with a focus on bringing the article closer to the Good Article criteria.
An inquiry on the article's Talk page explains a bit more of the background detail. Would anyone be able to take a peek at the draft update, and share your thoughts on whether it is ready to be implemented? I feel that it would be significant improvement, but given the depth of the content, it could certainly benefit from a fresh set of eyes or two. Please feel free to respond directly here, on the article's Talk page, or if you prefer you're welcome to jump in and make edits directly to my userspace draft. Cheers, Jeff Bedford ( talk) 18:21, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
The structure shown for spilanthol is incorrect and should be replaced with the correct structure. The structure shown is for Undeca-2E,7Z,9E-trienoic_acid_isobutylamide.
Spilanthol is (2E,6Z,8E)-deca-2,6,8-trienoic acid N-isobutyl amide. The structure shown has one extra carbon and therefore the double bonds are in the wrong places. Rbcody ( talk) 21:24, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

My husband and I were wondering where you can find fresh pearl onions. He wanted to try his hand at pickling them. I know you can find jars of them in the super markets, but they are precooked. I'd hate to have to try and find someone in Europe to ship them to me :)

I just wanted to bring this article to the Wikiproject's attention. It's already tagged for Wikiproject Television but I also took the liberty of adding a food and drink tab since it relates to food and drink. If someone gets the chance and could take a look at it I'd appreciate it. I'm slowly (very slowly) trying to rehab it a little bit and expand it but due to lack of time and being able to find resource to source from it's going slowly. Any extra eyes would be appreciated. Thanks. Cat-five - talk 07:50, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi all - considering that you are all interested in food in one way or another, you may be interested in participating in the Bacon Challenge 2012. The Bacon Challenge is an annual celebration of bacon on Wikipedia in which editors come together to help create, expand, and improve Wikipedia's coverage of bacon. It's open to everyone and lasts for more than half a year, giving participants plenty of time to work as they please. A fun part of the Challenge is the Bacon WikiCup, an event in which editors score points for their contributions and compete to get the most points in a friendly, productive competition. The winner walks away with a trophy, top contributors in certain categories get barnstars, and all participants receive a participation medal (though the ultimate goal is to have fun and help Wikipedia, of course). The Challenge is just starting, so now would be the best time to sign up.
I could write more, but I wouldn't want to write a big wall of text. If you think you're interested, please check out the links in my post to learn more, and sign up here if you wish. Also, if you think you know anyone else that might be interested in this, feel free to let them know. Thanks for reading, ~ Super Hamster Talk Contribs 06:11, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
If someone prefers to eat their strawberries raw, that does not make them a raw foodist. Raw foodism is a cult-like lifestyle in which cooking food is considered almost evil, but most people who have no qualms in having their food baked or fried regularly also consume raw foods. Therefore I find it curious, and actually somewhat annoying, that "raw", in food-related articles, often links to Raw foodism, as in the lead of the Gazpacho article: "Gazpacho is a cold Spanish tomato-based raw vegetable soup". After all, "vegetable" does not Easter-egg out to Veganism, and so on, so why relate conventional rawness of some food to this cult thing? Note also that Raw food redirects to Raw foodism, and that Category:Raw foods is a subcategory of Category:Raw foodism instead of the other way around. What do others think? -- Lambiam 10:54, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
