Talk:Tuaca

Rewrite

I'd been rewriting the article; when I was ready to post my version, I found a copyvio, so I went back and rewrote again. I've had Tuaca — it's OK as a cordial, if you like things very sweet — so the description, FWIW, is my own! The purported details of its importation into the US are irrelevant and made it easier to rewrite it all without copyvio, I hope. Bill 5 July 2005 20:42 (UTC)

Whoops, sorry about that! I was on a copyvio-finding spree, and noticed this, so I marked it right away. Thanks for the rewrite, though; it may be a stub, but it's better than having a POV-ish, copyrighted advertisement there. I'll remove this from WP:CP now. DomRem 6 July 2005 00:50 (UTC)

pronunciation

anyone qualified to write up the IPA spelling for this?

It's tu.ɑ.kɑ or tu.wɑ.kɑ --Peter Farago 03:41, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

I think I've got the correct Italian IPA added now. But someone should check it out and correct if I got it wrong. Geoff ^{T C} 22:56, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Name

What is the origin of the name? It sounds more Mexican/South American than Italian. Badagnani 06:19, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

I have a suspicion it's made from combining the names of the inventors (TUoni and CAnenpa.) --67.164.139.172 (talk) 11:17, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

History

Can anyone cite the Renaissance claim? If it's true at all then the recipe would have to have been changed over time -- vanilla, said to be the dominant ingredient, wasn't a known item in Europe during the lifetime of Lorenzo di Medici.--67.164.139.172 (talk) 11:19, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
