The infobox gives its place of origin as Scotland, but the article text and two of the three sources indicate Australia (although one of these sources references the other). I think the place of origin has to be either nailed down firmly with further sources, or removed from the article entirely.

hi i need to know how to make caramel slices/shortbread and i need to know how many people are in australia --124.168.37.77 (talk) 08:55, 18 May 2009 (UTC)kroberts
thanx bye bye and answer my questions
- Wikipedia dosen't tell you how to make cuisines but can't you look up Australia in the search bar on the left of the screen to find out how many people live in Australia? Kausill (talk) 12:07, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
- Oh and 21.7 million live in Australia... Kausill (talk) 12:09, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
Er, "Made popular by triple starred chef Heston Blumenthal"? In the same way that dancing was made popular by, say, Disco? I seem to remember caramel slices flying off the shelves before Mr B had boiled his first egg. Blumenboi Publicity Dept? Wooter (talk) 19:13, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
Most commonly called “caramel squares”?
This just doesn’t make any sense, as if it were the most common name (which I doubt) it would be the name in the article title, surely? As far as I can see, you might have some competition between “caramel shortbread” and “millionaire’s shortbread“, as the latter is widely used, but “caramel squares” wouldn’t come close (shortbread is rarely made square, more likely in fingers…).

Agreed: may be true of a particular geographical area, but claim is unsubstantiated. Ceartas 19:11, 27 August 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ceartas (talk • contribs)
"Caramel Squares" SHOULD be the title of the article. It is the ONLY name i have EVER encountered. Millionaire's shortcake? What on earth? Every bakery i have been to sells them as Caramel Squares. Every pack purchasable refers to thme as Caramel Squares. Of course, they often come in triangle form in cafes, in which case it is permissable to say Caramel Triangle. I'm from Northern Ireland, does that make a difference?
Oh, and i'm the one who first added "Most commonly called caramel squares", because it actually is true, and does make sense Jock123. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.214.170.234 (talk) 12:31, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
- The name is different in various regions. I'm in England, and I've personally never heard them called caramel squares over here. I call them caramel shortbread myself. Millionaire shortbread is a very common term for it (see [1] and [2]). I took "Wellington Squares" out for now, as i can't find much reference to it apart from a different recipe using Mars Bars. --82.68.11.50 (talk) 09:08, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
Since they're available in shapes other than squares it would be silly to use that for the name of the article... Peter Law (talk) 18:03, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
But that's what they're called usually. And they're almost always square or rectangular. Occasionally in large triangles in cafés. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.218.88.146 (talk) 15:49, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
Why "millionaire's shortbread"?
Does anyone know (or, better still, know of a source explaining) why they're called millionaire's shortbreads? Peter Law (talk) 18:03, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
- I was always told by my parents that it was because this is the kind of shortbread millionaire's would eat ie not plain boring shortbread, but encrusted with luxury things! Certainly costs a damn sight more to make than plain shortbread Ewan carmichael (talk) 12:38, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
Scotish?
The infobox gives its place of origin as Scotland, but the article text and two of the three sources indicate Australia (although one of these sources references the other).
