To me remoulade is mainly used for 1) Dip for french fries, 2) On top of roast beef together with roasted onions. Should we add these exmaples to diversify its usage?

anyone have a receipt so I can make some?

[edit] Covering spoiled flavors

How about a reliable source for the statement "Its original purpose was possibly for serving with meats, possibly to cover the taste of food that had spoiled from failed early preservation techniques?" Two studies at Cornell University dismiss the "spoiled food" theory. Their findings lend more weight to the "prevent spoiled food" theory than the "cover up spoiled food" theory. While it most likely was for serving with meats, its purpose was not to "cover the taste of food that had spoiled from failed early preservation techniques."

While use of spices may have prevented food spoilage in many circumstances, a mayonnaise-based sauce applied after food is cooked would have no use. The sauce would spoil before the meat would spoil. Jlhollin (talk) 14:41, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Missing link

I think the sub-domain deepsouth is defunct. I didn't have any luck trying to find "remoulade.txt" from the link: http://deepsouth.tulane.edu/culinary/web/learning_lore.asp?id=remoulade.txt —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.162.255.198 (talk) 16:37, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

The Deep South Regional Humanities Center at Tulane was a victim of Katrina. Nothing on the Tulane website indicates it will ever reopen. I have made a remark on the link. Jlhollin (talk) 14:25, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Iceland

Iceland is a country, and not just a tiny island, so in common (American) English usage, the preposition "in" applies to its use as a country, whereas the preposition "on" would apply to its use as an island (perhaps if the subject were one of geology or topography). When speaking of the country of Iceland, we say "In Iceland...", not "On Iceland...". Just the same, we say "In Hawaii..." when referring to the state of Hawaii, and "On Hawaii..." when referring to the island of Hawaii. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wilhelm meis (talkcontribs) 23:40, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
