Talk:Ramekin

Size?
I would like it if someone could have a different picture, in order to better understand the size of a ramekin. If a human hand were in the picture, I could tell if what I have in my cupboard are ramekins. I think they may be too small, but I can't tell. 98.82.193.95 (talk) 02:21, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
 * They are ... [quick peek on a shopping site] .. about 9 or 10 cm (3.5 inches) in diameter and half that in depth. 79.66.210.227 (talk) 19:56, 25 February 2017 (UTC)

souffle dish
If souffle dish is going to redirect to ramekin, we need to show the difference in size.valereee (talk) 16:35, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

etymology
etymonline says, "toasted cheese and bread, 1706, from French ramequin (late 17c.), said to be from a Germanic source (compare Middle Low German rom "cream"), from Proto-Germanic *rau(g)ma-, which is of uncertain origin.". I am not sure the Dutch origin in the article is assertable. Glennglazer (talk) 16:40, 7 May 2023 (UTC)


 * So it's not "ram", it's rather like Norwegian "rømme" (sour cream).
