Talk:Upside-down cake

Cultural gap?

Is there a difference between a US-American and British upside-down cake? Maikel (talk) 15:54, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

What's so funny?

... about upside-down cakes that they are being ridiculed e. g. by Dad's Army? Maikel (talk) 15:54, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Is this vandalism?

An upside-down cake as a CHOKING HAZARD? This looks like vandalism and/or bullshit to me. Devil Master (talk) 08:51, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

If you attempt to eat it while upside down, as instructed by the article, it could well be considered a choking hazard. Lame Name (talk) 19:53, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

More information

We need:

• Who invented it
• Where it was invented
• When it was invented
• How it was invented

http://www.kitchenproject.com/history/PineappleUpsideDownCake/: "The first recorded recipe for Pineapple Upside Down Cake

According to John Mariani's ( The Dictionary of American Food and Drink , Revised Edition, 1994), "The first mention in print of such a cake was in 1930, and was so listed in the 1936 Sears Roebuck catalog, but the cake is somewhat older." In Fashionable Food: Seven Decades of Food Fads (1995), Sylvia Lovegren traces pineapple upside-down cake to a 1924 Seattle fund-raising cookbook...While rooting around in old women's magazines I found a Gold Medal Flour ad with a full-page, four-color picture of Pineapple Upside-Down Cake--a round cake with six slices of pineapple, candied red cherries, and a brown sugar glaze. The date: November 1925." --- American Century Cookbook: The Most Popular Recipes of the 20th Century , Jean Anderson (p. 432)" http://trib.com/lifestyles/food-and-cooking/history-of-upside-down-cake-goes-way-back/article_e4da1df4-c915-562a-9162-3fd38ba9a7ef.html: "Upside-down technique existed prior to this in an apocryphal French apple pie, created in 1889 by two sisters, Stéphanie and Caroline Tatin, innkeepers in the Loire Valley. During the busy hunting season, one sister left a pan of apples and sugar on the stove cooking a bit too long. Instead of merely softening, the sugar caramelized and the apples braised in this caramel. With no time to think, Stéphanie cleverly popped a pastry crust on it, baked the whole thing, turned it out and served it." Robocon1 (talk) 18:32, 16 May 2017 (UTC)

Dad's Army adding

I - and some others before me - had been adding a very nice Trivia line about Upside-down cakes often mentioned by Private Charles Gofrey in Dad's Army. It's been removed some times since it was first added, i hope it will stay now in this article, because it's a very nice adding and if you don't know the show, please watch it sometime. Thanks, Hans from the Netherlands. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.108.138.163 (talk) 19:37, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

As with everything in Wikipedia, the correct way to handle the situation would be to find a reliable source (see WP:RS for the definition of this piece of jargon) that supports its inclusion, and then include this as a reference. --JBL (talk) 22:22, 15 June 2017 (UTC)
