Given the history of this product, does it occur to nobody else that this is very likely a white man taking a black man's good idea in a case of cultural appropriation? Amber388 23:35, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

No. The cook on the train had a good idea, but not one that could be used for a shelf product. If you mixed lard and flour (as he did) you can't put that in a box and sell it. His simple idea inspired someone to develop a product that achieved the same end results but was made very differently. Saxophobia (talk) 12:30, 22 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Sounds like Amber388 may be racially biased her/himself. If you look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:GB-8297.jpg, the chef in this 1927 photo is clearly white. Thus, one can surmise that railroad cooks could be white during this period (even if this is guy is a model and not a real chef, it would be unlikely that the advertising agency or whoever would pick someone that would be so atypical if railroad cooks were universally black as Amber388 surmises). Thus, the "good idea" could have come from some white railroad cook. Of course, the sales executive could have been black for all anyone knows (albeit certainly highly unlikely given the period) since there is no further ID of him/her either. If this were the case, would this writer accuse the black saleman of stealing the white man's idea? Not every single event, however trivial, in American history is some racially motivated attempt by whites to steal from blacks - give it a rest. Jmdeur (talk) 20:39, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

Biscuits
Shouldn't it be mentioned somewhere that, though originally meant for biscuit dough, Bisquick has become synonymous with pancake batter instead? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.182.149.81 (talk) 06:44, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

Buttermilk Solids
The recipe for Bisquick substitute is incomplete. The version of Bisquick introduced in the mid '60s contained buttermilk solids which gave Bisquick biscuits their tanginess. If making biscuits you could simply add buttermilk powder to the dough. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.12.176.20 (talk) 09:41, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

Hatnote
Is the hatnote truly warranted, i’m wondering if there’s enough people searching for a specific episode of that show, stumbling upon this page and getting confused. Bisquick is known around the globe & the hatnote doesn’t seem to be helpful other than to a very small minority Elvisisalive95 (talk) 04:28, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
