Comments

There seems to be some repetition going on in the "French Cuisine" section. Take for instance:

"Potage Crécy is named after Crécy-en-Ponthieu, a French commune in Northern France that has been purported to have carrots with the best flavor within France." Wouldn't it flow better to say "Potage Crécy is named after Crécy-en-Ponthieu, a commune in Northern France that has been purported to produce carrots with the best flavor within the country" instead?
"In French cuisine, Crécy soup is typically prepared with rice, and may be served with a side dish of rice." Again, maybe to say "In French cuisine, Crécy soup is typically prepared with rice, which may also be served as a side dish"? Herein dwells the greatest dictionary ever composed!

Hi Wilhelmina Will – I have updated the In French cuisine section to reflect the wording you have proposed above, which is more specific and less wordy. Thanks for the suggestions. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 21:10, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I forgot. Yes, that's much better now. Herein dwells the greatest dictionary ever composed! (talk) 03:11, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
