This page is a very interesting case of a use of diacritic in an article name! Currently a hot topic of discussion at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (use English).
Personally , I think that there are a few cases - and this is one - where these diacritics are part of normal English. That's why I came here looking. Andrewa 03:16, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
Thinking further, others are cliché and Olé!. I'd normally write these with a diacritic. Perhaps a few others, but very few. See list of English words with diacritics for other possibilities... but I don't think so. Andrewa 14:52, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Heat
"Some claim that because the flame is above the food and since heat travels upwards, [emphasis mine]it cannot significantly affect the flavor,"
I think it should be noted that, while hot air rises relative to colder air, heat itself radiates in all directions. So that anything underneath a flame can indeed be affected by it. If you don't believe me try setting the top of your head on fire.--Beetfarm Louie 17:14, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, but that's what some people say about flambé. I got that out of the LA Times article that's listed as a reference. howcheng {chat} 23:57, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
Alcohol i.e. ethyl alcohol boils at 78 °C (178 °F) at "normal" atmospheric pressure not 65 °C as the article states. (See Ethanol) Laberzs 08:08, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
