I wish to enhance this post by adding some historical and cultural information.

I will make those changes now, but wish to get your permission before I remove the link to an external webpage and replace it with a recipe page.

Additional I would like to remove the Sims reference and replace it with a popular quote from Citizen Kane.

Let me know your thoghts, —Sarah Murray 11 April 2006 (sic)

Why don't you simply add those things without removing anything? It's not like the article is too long... —Keenan Pepper 22:58, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Makes sense to me.

After further thought, are movie/game references acceptable?

Added Link to the Lobster Thermidor Cookbook recipe that I just created.

Should the external link be removed?

Looks fine to me. —Keenan Pepper 23:40, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 1894 or 1891?

According to the article now, the dish was created to celebrate the opening performance of the play Thermidor in 1894. This seems to be the concensus, looking at a lot of other websites. But according to Wikipedia and all other sources I could find, Thermidor the play was created in 1891. I figure that there are two possibilities: 1. The etymology of Lobster Thermidor is not correct, or 2. There was a 3-year delay between publication of the play and the first production. I'm not sure which makes more sense. Can anyone shed light?--Rsl12 (talk) 19:07, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
