Spelling of Peychaud's middle name
A bottle of Peychaud's purchased today gives the spelling of Msr. Peychaud's middle name as "Amedie." However, at least one older source, a July 1, 1883, edition of the newspaper L'Abeille de la Nouvelle-Orleans, found here, at slides 37 and 38, gives the spelling as "Amédée." Most other modern sources (e.g. 12,300 Google hits for "Amedée" vs. 620 for "Amedie") give the same spelling. That suggests the current spelling (on the bottle) is a typo that crept in over the years. Geoff Who, me?  23:09, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Peychaud's Date of Birth
References to Peychaud settling in New Orleans in 1793 appear to all originate from Stanley Clisby Arthur's 1937 book "Famous New Orleans Drinks and How to Mix 'em", however Arthur's scholarship has since been brought into question. Research by Phillip Greene put Peychaud's date of birth in February, 1803 (see https://www.thedailybeast.com/who-is-the-real-father-of-the-cocktail). Talou~enwiki (talk) 00:26, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
