Talk:Fideo

Stub Status
Obviously, based on the snippet of text quoted in the comment below entitled "This isn't even a stub," this article has changed to some degree since that comment was posted. It now contains just what that poster thought was lacking - a description of what fideo is. As such, I decided it was high time to add a "stub" text box. I have encountered just one problem - and, if you look at the article, you will see what it is. I don't know if it's because there was already a text box there, mentioning that sources were needed, but here's what happened. I added the tag { { Food-stub } } (without the spaces), and the "Stub" notification appeared under the citation TB, aligned with the text, with no box surrounding it. So, my intelligent code-geniuses, what gives? User: YesItsRaining 24.152.235.191 (talk) 23:51, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

Etymology
What is the etymology of this word? Badagnani 02:53, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Fideo is a Spanish word. I speak fluent Spanish, but I lack a knowledge of Spanish etymology.  Sorry!

This isn't even a stub
The article begins:

Fideo

"In Spanish cuisine (originated from Spain), it is commonly used in soups. There are a wide variety of recipes, but the basic recipe calls for lightly browning the fideo in oil, then adding a base of chicken or beef broth, with pureed tomato, chile peppers, garlic, and onion. Cilantro, beef, chicken, corn, or other ingredients may also be included. The mixture is then boiled until the fideo and other ingredients are cooked. When served it can be garnished with lime or lemon juice, chile or hot sauce, sour cream, and/or Spanish sauce/cheese . . ."

Somewhere -- even in a stub -- at the beginning of an article someone needs to say what the article is about. For example, if fideo is a kind of noodle, then that fact should be mentioned in the first sentence.Daqu (talk) 00:59, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
