offline sources accepted in good faith, age and size fine. Hook sourced and is moderately interesting. I think something about the chestnuts would be more interesting though. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 00:24, 22 November 2014 (UTC)

ALT1: ... that in the Cuisine of Corsica chestnut is so important that it was an ingredient in 22 courses of a typical 19th-c wedding lunch?
ALT2: ... that in the Cuisine of Corsica chestnut flour derives flavor from being dried where pork too is smoked, and pork is chestnut-flavored because pigs eat chestnut flour?
- (Following up on Casliber's chestnut argument--what a lovely article, BTW. Drmies (talk) 22:25, 24 November 2014 (UTC)))

Yeah I like both of them. Whoever promotes this, I recommend either one of the ALTs. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 00:15, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

I have a slight preference for my original hook and for ALT1. My problem with ALT2 was that it sounds like the flour gets its flavor from the pork, while truth is that they are only both smoked in the same place. I slightly changed the hook in order to precise its meaning. Alex2006 (talk) 09:39, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
