Talk:Culinary triangle

Notability
Whether or not this is notable in its own right, a simple redirect is the wrong answer. Culinary triangle points from the CLS article which means that someone who wants to find out what it is is dumped in cookery and can't work it out. FWIW I was searching on google for "culinary triangle", No. 1 hit is the CLS article I followed that to here. This needs fixing.

I think its a sufficiently well known theory in social anthropology to be worth its own page. Francis Davey (talk) 21:57, 17 December 2008 (UTC)


 * A cursory web search drops articles that reference the subject - it seems to be reasonably well recognised. You might think its barking of course, but that's no reason no to include it 8-). Francis Davey (talk) 22:02, 17 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Care to use this anecdotal evidence to, y'know, improve the referencing of the article? Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 23:18, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

The image and the text don't really match...
According to the picture, those three main ways of preparing food are: smoking, grilling and FERMENTING. There is nothing about the last one in the text (ok, maybe it does't apply to meat but, for instance, to dairy products). Then there are three additional cooking types: roasting (heaven knows what's the difference between this and grilling), boiling and - to close the circle - steaming. 83.24.2.188 (talk) 23:14, 8 March 2009 (UTC) Slamazzar I have been researching the Culinary Triangle for some related work, and noted that levi-strauss mentions clearly where grilling and steaming fit in. I included a small paragraph to help illustrate this as, it's true someone mentioned the image was not fully evoked by the accompanying text. 132.205.103.147 (talk) 10:26, 19 January 2010 (UTC) JoshD
