Regarding "cèpes à la bordelaise"

I take your point, Chiswick Chap, about Boletus edulis being called "cep or Penny Bun" in British English, so the Italian porcini isn't necessary in the parenthetical explanation "fried in olive oil with parsley and garlic". It seems to me, however, that because parentheses are being used, the phrase enclosed in parentheses –"fried in olive oil with parsley and garlic" – functions as a translation, and in that case it is missing a noun that denominates what is being so cooked. I suggest using "mushrooms" or else removing the parentheses. Given the fact that WP's own data shows that most people don't even click on the link, though, I suggest that it would be helpful to our lazy readers;-) to include the explanatory "mushrooms" for those who don't know French or British English.

Thanks, but the phrase is just describing how the mushrooms are cooked, not translating anything. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 17:57, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Then all the more reason why the parentheses aren't needed. Carlstak (talk) 18:06, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I see you've changed it. It's a well-written article, and I see that you wrote most of it. I read every word, and it made me hungry.;-) Carlstak (talk) 18:19, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
