Talk:Bisque (food)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Is this really necessary? "It is a dish designed for the pretentious and snobby set, who would know what good food really is." 68.91.163.8 22:05, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
There's some broader definition of 'bisque' too, as google search for mushroom bisque gives quite a few soups that don't have any seafood in them. Mairi 03:30, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Non-shellfish bisque
Google and Food Network both provide recipes for many soups that are called bisques that do not include shellfish ingredients. Even if not classically considered a bisque, and rather more like a vischyssoise, this rather common usage in the current culinary landscape shows that these new types of soups have joined the shellfish varieties in our lexicon. I changed the wording of the article to clarify that classical bisque is a pureed shellfish soup, but have also included the more recent additions to the soup variety.
