[edit] Request for Comment: Apple pie ingredients

This is a dispute about what ingredients are in apple pie. 21:31, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Statements by editors previously involved in dispute

• For thousands of years, apple pie has consisted solely of apples and spices. The line must be drawn here: apple pie must not be described as including sugar. -- Captain Picard 25:31, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
• Apple pie standards have evolved since it was first invented in medieval England. It is logical to include the varieties of recipe we find today, including sugar. -- Mr. Spock 11:31, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
• There are many ingredients for apple pie, but cheese has been short-lived and absolutely does not belong. -- Ensign Ricky 23:31, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Comments

• Because it is apple pie, it must first be described by its essential ingredients, namely apples and then also include the common spices. Additional or uncommon ingredients should be mentioned, but belong in their own section. Here is one possible revision of the paragraph most at the source of this dispute:
