Might I suggest a picture that makes the croque monsieur looks more appetizing? I've eaten my fair share of them, and they're pretty tasty--that one doesn't look very good. Thyroidpsychic 00:08, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Are croque monsieurs always dipped in egg? My recollection from Paris is that they are not. A french page illustrating the manufacture of croque messieurs as well as this english-language one also suggest this may not always be the case. Mpntod 21:21, Nov 25, 2004 (UTC)

T'as bien raison, Martin! Et c'était bien dommage, ton résultat en mai... :( -- Picapica 4 July 2005 21:44 (UTC)

When I was in Paris, none of my croque monsieurs were dipped in egg. This should be struck from the article. At most, it should be mentioned as a variation. The photo I took of a croque monsieur I made is also not dipped in egg. Mbrewer 04:37, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 'Croque monsieur' or 'Croque-monsieur': why was this page moved?

Why did User:Kaihsu move this article from Croque monsieur to Croque-monsieur? Mbrewer 04:44, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Very good question. Should we move it back? Mpntod 08:20, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Yes. 'Croque-monsieur' should, in my opinion, redirect to 'Croque monsieur'. Rob cowie 14:23, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

I guess he did it because that's how it was referred to in the article title. Croque-monsieur appears to be the french form. Looking at various websites, the most common form in english is croque monsieur. Mpntod 17:41, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Egg

In regards to the egg on top, I've always heard that called a Croque Madame. It probably depends on subtle differences in the recipe or maybe just a regional name change. Thyroidpsychic 00:03, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

All the places I eat in France call the one with the egg on top a 'Croque Cheval'. Is that just my experience? Pimdip 21:57, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

If you actually eat places in France then the locals may call it a croque-cheval to honour your equine appetite. 217.44.141.43 13:09, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

At Versailles and elsewhere I ate in Paris, the ones with an egg on top were Croque Madame. Mbrewer 04:17, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
