Talk:Jalapeño popper

This should probably be moved out of Mexican cuisine as it is a typical American dish, like buffalo wings. Also, anyone know where they were invented?

This chowhound discussion hints at it http://www.chowhound.com/topics/93754

Is this article incomplete?
The current article for jalapeno poppers only covers the deep fried variety, found mostly in grocery store frozen aisles and bar menus. It is missing the grilled and/or baked bacon wrapped iteration, popular throughout Texas and much of the southwest, like so: http://www.instructables.com/id/Texas-Jalapeno-Poppers/

I have reason to believe that the grilled bacon wrapped poppers are the original version, and that the deep fried is a simplified version for mass production. At the least, both iterations deserve mention in this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Poppinoff247 (talk • contribs) 04:10, 24 December 2016 (UTC)

Jalapeno popper sauce
I've been making these things for a while (for anyone attempting to figure it out, the green side has to be rolled in corn starch prior to battering) - Most restaraunts serve these with a jelly made from jalapenos and habanero peppers rather than with the berry preserves. -zb


 * Where are you from, zb? I've never seen them served with anything other than ranch dressing, a la buffalo wings. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cwodtke (talk • contribs) 01:57, 22 September 2008

An Edit that per the content should have been to the talk page.
it must be noted that the Terms 'jalapeno popper' and 'armadillo egg' arent to be used interchangably. the term 'armadillo egg' refers to a halfshell jalapeno stuffed with cream cheese coil wrapped in bacon and baked. a 'jalapeno popper' is a full shell jalapeno stuffed with cream cheese, sometimes sausage or bacon pieces and then battered and fried. An easy way to remember which is which is by using the word 'popper' and applying it to fishing terms. a popper is a type of lure. when side by side. the jalapeno and the lure look similar in design and shape. on the same note you can look at an armadillo and notice how its overlapping shell is similar to that of the overlapped bacon. i do hope you add this small notation at the top of the page and perhaps make a separate article for it. if i bake a pie and call it a cake.... i am grammatically wrong. if someone makes jalapeno poppers and calls them armadillo eggs..... they are grammatically wrong. please consider these changes. - by 72.175.87.209 found here :https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jalape%C3%B1o_popper&oldid=874085798
 * This is original research that needs a source for it to be on Wikipedia; The Fishing popper portion may very well be correct, I just haven't found a source for it yet. The bacon (or sausage) portion being like an armadillo shell is also likely correct but needs a source, which I am looking for. The proscriptive usage regarding 'jalapeno popper' does not appear to conform to how the term is actually used with grilled jalapeno poppers being as commonly used as fried jalapeno poppers.
