Talk:Flaming onion volcano

Merge proposal
Is this really notable? Should it not be merged into teppanyaki or hibachi? LordAmeth (talk) 13:23, 18 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Similarly, Baked Alaska could be merged to ice cream or galbi into Korean barbecue, but they're all specific foods. This seems notable enough. Badagnani (talk) 17:47, 18 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Fair enough. But unlike baked Alaska and galbi, which are specific foods, the onion volcano is still basically just onion. It's a trick, not a dish, and a small and minor trick at that, within a range of other tricks performed by these chefs, the "act" as a whole being already described at teppanyaki. But it's not that important that I should want to make a big deal out of it... LordAmeth (talk) 23:24, 18 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Your argument seems sound. I didn't know it was that insignificant. The original author makes it sound like a standard thing these chefs do. Maybe s/he just wanted to get into WP:DYK. :) Badagnani (talk) 23:27, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm an only some-time WP editor so I don't know the etiquette, but as this has been sitting since last March with no objections to the merge proposal, shall we go for it? Rkaufman13 (talk) 19:28, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Japanese name
Need Japanese name. Badagnani (talk) 23:28, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't know if there is a Japanese name. Do they do this in Japan, or only in Japanese restaurants in the West? LordAmeth (talk) 08:38, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Haha, good question. Most of the "Japanese" restaurants I know of in the States are actually run by Lao, Cambodians, or Malaysians. If I ask for shichimi togarashi they act as if I'm from Mars. Badagnani (talk) 09:05, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * There is not a Japanese name as this, like the California roll, is indeed a western creation. I will agree that this should be perhaps included in the teppanyaki section rather than be classified as Japanese.TheIronFury (talk) 01:14, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
