alias foods. New foods 7/7

chocobanana > choco_banana
banana_popsicle (I am not sure how this will work. Would it be considered a plain version of a choco banana?)

complete, except for gelatin/jello.

Still need to get use to this.
candy_apple > candied_apple
cooking_pan > frying_pan
gelatin > jello
muffin > muffins

That would be muffins > muffin. We're going singular, remember?

I would suggest reversing the alias for jello (jello -> gelatin), since jello is the brand name and gelatin is the generic name. Otherwise, ehh.

yeah, that makes sense.

Why candied_apple? Isn't that just personal preference? I see candy_apple way more often.

The way I'd normally look at it is that candy_apple is the name of the food itself, whereas "candied" is a way to describe what has been done to it. The line of definition seems so thin that, like I said, it seems more of a matter of preference. I'd think it should be left as is, unless anyone can explain a reason for it to be changed.

well, I did tag candy_apple on pics months ago. But someone else created and tagged candied_apple to pics, so since there are more pics for it, I figured that's what people wanted to use.

I always thought "candy apple" was a mispronunciation and misspelling of "candied apple", but Wikipedia seems to disagree with me, for one. Hmm.

Google hit count:
"candy apple" 2,090,000
"candied apple" 77,000

Are there any instances where we would want to specifically tag the brand name jello and not just have it alias to gelatin? If so, an implication might be better. On second thought, I imagine most people are using jello generically. If we really wanted/needed a tag to specify the brand we could do something like jello_(brand).

Also, the official spelling is "Jell-O" so we may want to take that into account.

Aliased muffins -> muffin
Aliased cooking_pan -> frying_pan
Aliased candied_apple -> candy_apple

As for jello, it doesn't seem like a brand name we would really need to tag here. So I'd be inclined to alias it to gelatin.

I am also use to calling Gelatin foods, Jello - just based on what I am seeing, I don't really think of the brand name when I do that.

But Gelatin would be the proper term for it.

I have been trying to avoid referring to items by a brand name, but if others don't mind then I won't object to using jello for all gelatin. Whatever more people prefer is fine.

I prefer gelatin.

I prefer gelatin myself, as well, although I do call it jello. I think we should continue trying to avoid brand names if possible.

The generic term, which is also the English term, is frozen_banana. chocobanana should be aliased to choco_banana, and choco_banana should imply frozen_banana. Frozen bananas on sticks that aren't chocolate would just be frozen_banana.

And jello and jell-o should be aliased to gelatin, and jelly should be aliased to jam and have a note in the Wiki for British users that it means jam, not gelatin. (post #19504, despite being jelly.jpg, may need to be re-tagged.)

Aliased jello -> gelatin

And why don't we just use chocolate_banana? That's what I always called them. (And frozen_banana in general, yes.)

chocolate_banana makes sense to me.

bump. about the bananas

Aliased chocobanana and choco_banana to chocolate_banana.

As for same's suggestive popsicles, I'd either use just popsicle or keep using the banana_popsicle tag. And chocolate_banana where appropriate.
