Talk:Metal leaf

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Edible

Should someeq discusion about use of gold leaf in food be added here? -sdf

You must be thinking of something else. --AlexWCovington (talk) 16:37, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

No, he's thinking of edible gold foil. http://www.google.com/search?q=edible+gold+foil I don't find any reference to it in wikipedia and think it should be included, whether on this page or its own page I don't know. Plain old gold is edible, maybe silver too (see Vark). I hesitate to write the material cause I don't know the specifics. It should be included in the Category:Confectionery.

The specifics were actually mostly available in metal leaf by the time I got to it, so I copied from there and tweaked it for the gold leaf page. Interestingly enough, there are actually companies that devote half their stock or more to being edible metal food decorations. Runa27 21:31, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

By the way, why on earth does Talk:Gold leaf redirect to Talk:Metal leaf!? They're two different articles! Now I feel weird saying the following:

I also shifted the pictures around and such. I'll be including some more details about water gilding relatively soon, so don't worry about the way the page looks now; the picture for water gilding won't be next to the gastronomy section when I finish. ;)

When it only applies to Gold leaf and not Metal leaf. :\ This is weird. I have never had this happen with a talk page before! Runa27 21:36, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Subject in Picture unclear

Can we get this cropped or somehow otherwise indicated as to where the actual subject is?

[edit] Misspelling

Metal leaf, or leafing, is a thin foil of some nearly pure metal often gold or silver, and somtimes copper. ---> it says somtimes instead of sometimes. Can't seem to update it. Please fix? Joey 18:55, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
