Talk:Amandine (garnish)

Proper title
"The French term is amandine, but the 'almondine' spelling is probably more common in America..."
 * ...at cultural levels where where vinaigrette is thought to be "vinegarette". This is just Bush-league silliness. --Wetman 10:37, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Wetman is of course, absolutely right. The erroneous almondine spelling and pronunciation, although perhaps uttered by a few uninformed individuals, is neither common nor correct.  I can find no published dictionary that uses the spelling, except for one that lists it as an alternate spelling for Almandine (a type of garnet).  The unsourced claim that almondine is more common doesn't seem right.  The correct amandine spelling is more common on Google, despite the fact that "almondine" hits include those for the gemstone.  Bottom line, this article was erroneously moved to almondine and should be moved back.  Moreover, this is an English wikipedia, not an American wikipedia---even if there are many Americans who misspell the word, that doesn't mean wikipedia should.  I've moved it.--Bibliophylax (talk) 01:38, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Since no-one has come forward to champion the ridiculous 'almondine' spelling since 2007, I'm going to re-write that section. Wetman and Bibliophylax are entirely correct. If anyone has a problem, state your arguments here. 210.84.38.231 (talk) 05:24, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

Better as amandine?
I think that this article should be moved to amandine. The only other articles are for a band, named after the culinary technique, and for a potato (called amandine potato).

Continuity
The article mentions how the term is often misspelled, and then the caption under the included image uses the misspelled term. I suggest that if the correct spelling is pointed out in the article, then the entire article should include only the correct spelling throughout. Jdevola (talk) 18:51, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
