Talk:Croquette

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the US, chicken croquettes were a luncheon dish that went out of favor after the 1950s. Wetman 11:32, 23 Sep 2004 (UTC) --- Brilliant last paragraph; very funny.

BTW Van Dobben and Kwekkeboom are made by the same company (as their vandobben.nl and kwekkeboom.nl whois info shows). They do taste slightly different, though.

What's wrong with offal? Are the Dutch really that squeamish? --Heron 19:45, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed rename to "croquette"

I have changed the spelling to the more usual "croquette" throughout (apart from acknowleding in the intro the existence of the spelling "croquet").

I believe the article should be renamed Croquette, as not only is that easily the most common English-language form of the word, but it avoids any confusion with "croquet" (the game) and obviates the need for "(food)". At the moment, a simple move is not possible because "Croquette" already exists (as a re-direct to "Croquet (food)"). What's the procedure? -- Picapica 11:57, 28 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Other countries

Being a brazilian, I know for a fact that croquetes are very popular in my home country also. We have the "original" potato croquete, but a few varieties include croquetes filled with ground beef and minced chicken. Quase 00:34, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

Spanish "croquets" (croquetas) are a typical meal on its own, known from a long time ago, before any Dutch come to Spain. Filled with ham, tuna, minced meat.... --81.60.2.204 13:08, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

I've correct the "Costa del sol" thing. Dutch tourist didn't export croquettes' recipe to Spain...

[edit] Shaped like a sausage?

Is it just me, or does sausage, like, come in a lot of shapes? I get the impression we're talking about a sausage patty shape here, but I think links are a more typical sausage shape. And what's with not explaining what it's made of until three-quarters of the way thru the article? I'm hesitant to change the article myself, not knowing much about it...

Nothing to do with a sausage. This is a vegetable based food. I guess you COULD cook up a sausage croquette (the bread/potato exterior with sausage inside), but it would still be a croquette, and not a sausage patty. Quase 04:18, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
