Talk:Caesar salad
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I'm looking at a bottle of the Cardini's "original caesar" dressing now, and it has anchovies as the third-from-last item on the ingredients. The reference to the bottled dressing not having anchovies should be addressed/corrected. I've never edited Wiki and don't want to mess anything up.
- Hi, thanks for the info. I checked with the Cardini's website and you are indeed correct (I suspect this is via the inclusion of the ingredients for worcestershire sauce, but nonetheless the statement as written was wrong). In future feel free to be bold and edit! SeanLegassick 20:49, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
Wasn't sure how to handle this edit, but since I have the original recipe from Caesar's Bar in TJ, I had to at least tack it on.
I'm a little concerned - you mention one must interrogate the server extensively, but give not tips on this, or on key points to look out for - some advice perhaps?2toise 09:22, 7 Oct 2003 (UTC)
- When you said "interrogate the server" I was thinking in technology terms and I didn't get it... dave 04:18, 8 Oct 2003 (UTC)
I have also seen the spelling Caesar Gardini, but google seems to say that Cardini is more common. Can the current spelling be confirmed? --Dori 04:32, 8 Oct 2003 (UTC)
- Well I know that you can buy Cardini salad dressing. It has a little picture of the guy, and a little history on the label about Caesar salad. The dressing is spelt Cardini, although who knows, maybe the dressing used a different name for copyright reasons, and then that name caught on? dave 20:45, 8 Oct 2003 (UTC)

- Not a big deal anyway I guess. ¬ Dori 21:04, 8 Oct 2003 (UTC)
- Julia Child, who used to eat at the original restaurant in Tijuana when she was young, and confirms the recipe as being without anchovies, says that Cardini is the name of the inventor. Who wants to argue with Julia?
The article Caesar Cardini claims the author was Caesar, not Alex. There should be some conformity - e.g., mentioning both hypotheses in both articles, and if possible, citing some source for each. --Oop 07:45, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
From this article: [1]:
- "Caesar salad was invented in about 1903 by Giacomo Junia, an Italian cook in Chicago, Illinois. Giacomo Junia was the cook in a small restaurant called The New York Cafe. He catered to American tastes as spaghetti and pizza in those days were little eaten by anyone including Italians. It is sometimes falsely stated that this salad was invented in Tijuana
...
- :Giacomo called the salad Caesar Salad after Julius Caesar, the greatest Italian of all time. . . . Junia never thought that the salad would be popular and was more surprised than anyone when people began to ask for it. Many itinerant cooks learned how to make the salad and soon it was made all over North America and even in Europe."
