The claim where galettes are only cooked on one side doesn't make sense.

I've seen a type of single crust, free-form pie (with the crust folded partway over the top of the filling) called a galette, too. In fact, I have a cookbook that has several such recipes in it, Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone by Deborah Madison. The website www.joyofbaking.com defines the term galette as "a French term signifying a flat round cake that can be either sweet or savory and while this recipe uses puff pastry as a base, they can also be made from yeast risen doughs like broiche, or with a sweet pastry crust." [1]. Should these different uses of the term be noted? --H-ko 00:22, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Canadian meaning

I've added a quick sentence about a variation on the meaning of the word in Canada. Observer31 02:54, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
