The "Larousse Gastronomique" dictionary states that the upside down apple (or pair) tart was an old specialty of the Sologne area. The Tatin sisters just made it famous.

  • If this can be verified and properly cited it would make a good addition to the article. Anyone got a copy of this book they can cite from? Stoo 01:21, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Not all of them use precooked apples, and there are records of tartes being made in this manner dating to the French Revolution; this entire entry is aprocyphal. --JustinZL 14:30, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] How about a pronunciation

Could you give pronunciations- I think that would be most appropriate and less amatuerish for your dictionary

[edit] Dead Link

http://www.tarte-tatin.com/english/page/sommaire-en.html (external link) is not valid anymore. A lot of sites have the receipt, which site is the "good one" to be quoted here ?! --F5pbl 09:12, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
