The same could be said for donuts :) Dlohcierekim 23:33, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand. Donuts *are* on Wikipedia. Granted, this article does not concern: Academics, Biographies, Books, Broadcasting, etc, etc, etc (as is now listed at the top of this article's page), but it *does* concern a popular food, which I think might be beneficial for one to be able to find on Wikipedia. As a lover of this confection, I thought it might be nice to add the article, hoping that others could expand upon it. I would like to know more about this product myself, as well as the company which so closely guards the recipe. I basically translated the german Wikipedia page of the same name...

It's a food article, plain and simple, and those are not only common on Wikipedia, but welcome. While it wouldn't be the end of the world to delete this page, I think it would be rather unfair and a disservice to anyone interested - including myself. From pictures, it appears to be a macaron, and the description bears out its pedigree - descriptions on other websites suggest differences including more of an emphasis on lightness and friability over the more chewy French forebearer. All of this information is out there, and ought to be here. 2 September 2006. - —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.46.127.227 (talk • contribs)

Luxemburgerli are a known specialty dessert not only in switzerland, different from the french macarons, smaller and lighter. They are a traditional gift from Switzerland similar to Basler_Läckerli or Swiss Chocolate in general, and are loved by many ( including me :) ). 25 Sept. 06 - —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.72.92.144 (talk • contribs)

this article should be merged with macaron[edit]

Is the only difference that it is smaller and lighter than a macaron, it should be merged with macaron.--DCX (talk) 22:37, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

worse yet, these are simply a registered trademark, which i believe is against wiki guidelines. 71.253.25.182 (talk) 10:41, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, and the article sounds like an ad (esp. the history section). I don't know how to merge, so for now, I'll clean up the worst of this article. -- tooki (talk) 18:08, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Luxemburgerli are a specialty, different to macaron. Macarons are made all over the world, but are generally with a jam-type filling, while Luxemburgerli have a butter-based filling. As far as I know they are only made by Spruengli and they have the name protected. I still don't see any problem with describing their product, which is a local specialty. In case this is a problem, it would help to merge the article with the one about "Spruengli" company. However, with products of the coca-cola company and others there are individual pages for their products. Macarons and Luxemburgerli, however, are too different to put them on one page.

Macarons and Luxemburgerli, are too different to put them on one page. Diderich (talk) 14:12, 26 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This article should be merged into Macaron. The German WP article links to two 'taste tests' in Swiss publications. In both of these, Luxemburgerli are compared directly with macarons from other producers. The NZZ article even says "a Luxemburgerli is nothing other than a small, airy macaron".

The claim that macarons generally have a "jam-type filling" is not borne out by evidence I can find - buttercream appears much more prevalent.

Sprüngli describes Luxemburgerli as mini-macaroons (en) macarons (fr) Makrönchen (de).[1]

As their manufacturer describes them as macarons then surely some very compelling evidence is required that they are "too different" from macarons?
