[edit] Article Expansion

In it's current state the article is pretty nonsensical; I'm working on fixing it up (Vichyssoise really is a cold potato soup, at least) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Soltak (talk • contribs) 00:45, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

I think there's two different varieties. The pureed leek one seems more common here in Toronto though. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.192.2.176 (talk • contribs) 04:52, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Origin

The Louis Diat 1917 invention inspired by earlier French hot version seems likely as researched by Seanibus here: http://64.233.167.104/search?q=cache:5HvUOSTCYhYJ:www.moviechatter.com/topic_show.pl%3Ftid%3D5621%26pg%3D3+Algonquin+Vichyssoise+-curry&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=10

But the date of 1917 and the location of Ritz Carleton NYC doesn't jibe with their corporate history . http://www.ritzcarlton.com/corporate/about_us/history.asp Any explanations? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ghosts&empties (talk • contribs) 21:13, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

The original RC did not even open until 1927, and even then it was not in NYC (its in Boston) so can someone correct this? I will see if i can come up with anything.--Bud 06:48, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pronunciation

I added the pronounciation; however I am not sure it is in the correct format. I am no expert on writing pronounciation guides as in a dictionary, but what I put is the best I could do. If anyone is more skilled in this, feel free to change it - the basis for my pronounciation was the movie V for Vendetta, as I said on the main page. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 4.153.26.190 (talk • contribs) 18:04, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

That pronunciation was actually incorrect - an example of hyperforeignism. I've added an IPA transcription with a note about the common mispronunciation. --Safalra 18:41, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
