What's the difference between Lady Finger biscuits and Langues de Chat? Or are they essentially the same thing? If so, the article needs to reflect the alternate name. (Langue de Chat is in fairly common use in English, despite obviously being French for "Cat's Tongue".) DWaterson 21:44, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Well, if Langues de Chat (which I've never heard of) are the same thing as Katzenzungen in Germany, then they're made of chocolate, while ladyfingers are made of a flour-based cookie dough. —Angr 13:26, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

I saw some Langues de Chat in a delicatessen yesterday and had a look at the recipe. These were made by the French biscuit maker LU ([1], although they aren't on that website). Essentially, Langues de Chat appear to be quite a light and crispy cake, like a small, thin, plain, oblong-shaped Madeira cake but with a crispier outside [2], where as Lady Fingers seem to be dryer, harder, sweeter and sugarier. Fairly similar though. They don't appear to be anything like Katzenzungen, however. DWaterson 20:52, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
