  • I see french fries is on the list. Are french fries considered French cuisine? They didn't originate in France, though they may eat them there. --Charles Sandberg 17:20, 20 June 2007 (CDT)
In the article about them, the first paragraph (written by me) says that they probably originated in Belgium. I've been wondering about this entry, however, and will now modify it.... Hayford Peirce 17:26, 20 June 2007 (CDT)
    • Thanks for adding that. It makes more sense now. Thank you! :) --Charles Sandberg 17:29, 20 June 2007 (CDT)

Formatting

Are we going to have capitals beginning all entries? It would be more educational not to, but many people would say it looks better with caps for each entry. And if we're going to have em dashes, please, Monsieur Efford, could you type them in please, as this is at least one European restaurant that doesn't have them. Merci mille fois.

Well, I think it *looks* better, so let's have all caps. As for the em dashes, I'll try to get around doing them. I used them before, but I think other people who put in items haven't been using them. Hayford Peirce 00:53, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

Right. Seems the same applies to many others, which I suppose is why you often see two en dashes -- instead. It looks almost the same, but not quite. Ro Thorpe 01:03, 18 December 2009 (UTC) - Looking better already!

I'm not really sure that the dash - is exactly the same as the en dash – Is it? If so, then why do we have an en dash thingee down in the Special Characters section? Hayford Peirce 01:13, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
Hah! It's not the same, just take a look above.... Hayford Peirce 01:14, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
