introuvable[edit]

Huh, I could not find "ganache" in:

the index of a 1974 Joy Of Cooking,
the index of a 1961 english Larousse Gastronomique,
a 1980 french Petit Larousse,
a 1989 french Larousse Lexis,
a 1961 unabridged Merriam-Webster

(these last two have the word, but do not provide a meaning of culinary sort)

However, I got "52,400 French pages for ganache cacao" from Google, and "115,000 French pages for ganache chocolat", so I guess it exists

What's your point? It's a real type of frosting. That much is obvious. Quillaja (talk) 04:49, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

weight or volume[edit]

The article should state whether the measures are by weight or volume. Halwyman (talk) 23:39, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

meaning of "ganache"[edit]

Ganache means cushion in French. —Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:|User:]] ([[User talk:|talk]] • contribs)

It means jowl. 58.174.75.123 (talk) 11:22, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Jowl is too vague to be relevant. Specifically, ganache refers to the jowl of an horse. But in this case it was used an insult meaning idiot or something like that. So ganache doesn't mean jowl at all, therefore I remove this mention. Please refer to the section "Origine du nom" in the article in French if you can come up with something more accurate. Calimo (talk) 19:20, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I see there is a reference so I leave it for now, but it is totally ridiculous (see [1] for a good definition of the word). Calimo (talk) 19:22, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The english definition seems in total error to me, the french definition [2] seems more plausible: Ganache is said to take its name from a handling mistake: an apprentice chocolatier who poured boiling cream over chocolate in error was called a “ganache” (asshole) by his master. But the mix, far from being unusable, took the name of its inventor "Ganache" Why is this not updated? Foggy Bummer (talk) 09:30, 16 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

How US-centric[edit]

... to have

   "Peanut butter fudge covered in ganache" as the primary picture.

A recipe for obesity, in the best US-ian tradition. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.130.101.231 (talk) 19:45, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

mouth cooling[edit]

I have noticed ganache cools my mouth, I think this is due to phase change but so far have been unable to find good sources to back this up. anyone fansy a lit reveiw? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cravatitude (talk • contribs) 17:32, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
