calories pls?
Correct me if I'm wrong, please. When the calories in food is discussed, these are technically kilocalories, yes? The can of Mountain Dew in my lap which lists "170 calories" per can, in fact contains 170 kcal? —  pd_THOR  undefined | 17:52, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

Margarine
I know where butter comes from and I know how it is made.This is all I need to know. Margarine,if I avoid it, I am sure it cannot hurt me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.65.28.228 (talk) 03:00, 21 October 2010 (UTC)


 * It's your choice, but margarine is not necessarily worse than butter in terms of salt, preservatives, trans-fats, and calories. -- Sjschen (talk) 20:36, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

3 chemical senses
Hi, the article on flavour refers to 3 chemical senses but I can only find reference to two anywhere else. Can someone clarify or correct? I don't know enough personally, sorry. If there are three then this is important info to go on the sense pages?

Thanks for all the info and work, its wonderful for me. I am looking at senses because I have realised that, as a writer, I have been neglecting some of them and relying to much on others in my way of seeing the world.

Best

instant noodles, ramen and ramenrater.com
Hi there -

Just a little confused why my review site keeps getting removed from the ramen and instant ramen topics. www.ramenrater.com has tons of pertinent information not available on the pages and it doesn't sell anything so I wouldn't see how it would be advertising. The external link for ramen now is rather useless as it is for an industry association that really doesn't pertain to retaurant ramens. Kind of confused here...

Category:Ethnic restaurants
The member categories in Category:Ethnic restaurants have names that are ambiguous. For instance there is Category:Hungarian restaurants. Now, in that case that category has Category:Restaurants in Hungary as a sub-category. That distinction may not always be obvious, however, and I suggest that these categories should be renamed. In the Hungarian example, I would suggest Category:Restaurants serving Hungarian cuisine or Category:Hungarian cuisine restaurants. The other categories would follow this scheme. I want to nominate these categories for renaming at categories for discussion, but I figured I'd request comments here first. __meco (talk) 11:18, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I think this is a good idea. The scheme Category:Hungarian restaurants is clearly ambiguous, and your suggested rename would clarify when it refers to the cuisine and not the location. I think the shorter scheme following Category:Hungarian cuisine restaurants sounds better, but either suggestion would do. Chefallen (talk) 21:07, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
 * OK. I'll check in later to see if more people have opinions on this. __meco (talk) 23:46, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

History of chocolate in Spain
Here's an idea for the English Wikipedia.

The Spanish Wikipedia has eS:Historia del chocolate en España - There is no English version, and the Spanish article is featured.

Who would be interested in starting an English version? WhisperToMe (talk) 21:37, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

Apples of Sodom - Poisonous, not a food
The article Calotropis procera (aka "Apple of Sodom", this redirects to former) was tagged for inclusion in the food and drink category. Considering it is described as highly poisonous, and there isn't much of any substance to the fruit that would be edible if it weren't (it's essentially a hollow globe), I would think this article should be removed from the food/drink category. — al-Shimoni  ( talk ) 01:31, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
