The claim

The claim where galettes are only cooked on one side doesn't make sense. [17:13, May 13, 2006‎ 24.238.217.33]

Of course, it does. The crêpes are very thin, you known. Cooking one side is enough, even if the other side is not totally cooked, it's hot and delicious to eat. (Blllakk (talk) 02:42, 21 August 2008 (UTC))[reply]

I've seen a type

I've seen a type of single crust, free-form pie (with the crust folded partway over the top of the filling) called a galette, too. In fact, I have a cookbook that has several such recipes in it, Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone by Deborah Madison. The website www.joyofbaking.com defines the term galette as "a French term signifying a flat round cake that can be either sweet or savory and while this recipe uses puff pastry as a base, they can also be made from yeast risen doughs like broiche, or with a sweet pastry crust." [1]. Should these different uses of the term be noted? --H-ko 00:22, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is that even in French French, "galette" has two possible meanings: One of them is a type of crepe. The other is a King cake. Medinoc (talk) 18:44, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Many years later, I've added a sourced section on the kind of galette that H-ko mentioned. I've called it a fruit galette for lack of a better term and I've added a couple of images showing the type. Wasted Time R (talk) 12:29, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Canadian meaning

I've added a quick sentence about a variation on the meaning of the word in Canada. Observer31 02:54, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Potato dish

What about the potato dish made from slices and sautéed potatoes like a thin and crispy Pommes Anna? Galette de Pommes de Terre at least has got a french page. --5.146.47.75 (talk) 21:38, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
