WP:OR on date of first use

[edit]

Whoever wrote this article used WP:Original research to invent the 1856 date. It took me a couple of minutes to find an earlier usage of the exact term "Champignons sautés au beurre" in an 1830 medical article about a man who ate poisonous mushrooms, sauteed in butter; [1].

The problem here is that you need to use a secondary source to specifically state the earliest date. You cannot use a primary source to conduct WP:OR on Wikipedia. Abductive (reasoning) 04:35, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • The source from 1856 verifies that the dish was used in recipes during this time. I have been unable to find additional sources about the topic's history at this time. Is the one above viable? Poisonous mushrooms are not typically used for culinary purposes. I restored the content for now, because this article is listed on Main page with this specific information, and the DYK nomination was approved and promoted in the DYK process.
