 * There are a few mentions in travel books and cookboks, but I only found a single proper use in English texts (citations page). The Spanish entry could be created, though. – Einstein2 (talk) 18:27, 17 April 2020 (UTC)


 * This is a more general issue. For many dishes originating in a region speaking language X, there will be a name for it in language X. That name will then naturally be used by people discussing the dish in language Y. For concreteness, there is a Turkish desert named . (We do not have an entry, but see kazandibi at the Turkish wiktionary.) A Google Books search for [recipe kazandibi ] gives plenty of hits in English texts. But does that make it an English word, or is it code-switching? I think it is the latter. This will also hold for uses of crespillo in English texts – the uses on the Citations page exhibit all the common signs of code-switching. We should reassign the term the L2 of Spanish. --Lambiam 06:54, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I suspect that cleaning up all the instances of code-switching could occupy a great deal of your time, should you choose to do so. Finding, getting agreement on, and testing some bright-line criteria for making a distinction would be a good start. DCDuring (talk) 17:07, 19 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Conversely to how they were sorted, I think at least the last occurrence in the 2018 cite could be a use, while the 2001 cite is clearly mentioning the term twice, once in italics and once in quotation marks. Food names are commonly borrowed, but I agree that in this case we don't (yet) have enough citations which are uses (or which are even of the same sense). - -sche (discuss) 21:20, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
