[edit] Earlier Deletion Discussions

I noticed the page had been VfD'ed at one point, so I looked for the archived discussion and e eventually found it at Template:VfD-Caesar_cocktail. Saucepan 00:48, 27 May 2004 (UTC)

The correct link is Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Caesar cocktail. The article is still pretty skimpy on good information. --Willscrlt 06:21, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bloody Caesar

Oops, I just saw Vfp15's reverts.

The original and correct name is Caesar; "bloody" is only added by those who confuse it with a Bloody Mary. I'm afraid I can't offer much in supporting documentation; see the hotwired link. I hope my mild edit reflects an acceptable compromise position.

How is "Canadians living abroad prize a bartender who can mix a good Caesar" POV? I can support this with a half dozen real examples. Is there someone who believes that Canadians abroad dislike a bartender who can mix a good Caesar?

Not worth an edit war, but Bloody Caesar is what I ordered at the Spectrum in Montreal when I was a college lad. Vincent 01:31, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)

The Quebecoise call it a "Bloody" avec un accent mais sans Caesar. Americans call it a "Bloody Caesar" and English Canadians generally know it as a "Caesar", at least out here in Alberta. Considering that it was invented in Calgary as a "Caesar", that should be its name, regardless of what anybody else decides to call it. Matthew Cadrin 07:13, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

The only time I use a modifier when I'm ordering a Caesar, is when I order a Virgin Caesar, i.e. without alcohol. If I'm ordering the standard Caesar (with alcohol), I simply say "Caesar", without a modifier. It's been my experience that this is common practice - in fact I'd never heard of a "Bloody Caesar" before. As with any Canadian-ism, it could be a regional thing (I'm from Southern Ontario). --Can-eh-dian Redhead (talk) 19:14, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
