Proposal to change "garnish" to "topping" to more accurately reflect use and intent of accessory foods when used on hot dogs.[edit]

Usage of the word "garnish" as used in the introductory and general description sections is not congruent with the definition of the word or the intended of the function of the described substance.

garnish: a decoration or embellishment for something, especially food.^[1]

topping: a layer of food poured or spread over a base of a different type of food to add flavor.^[2]

Listed article examples state "onions, sauerkraut, jalapeños, chili, grated cheese, coleslaw, bacon, and olives". Each of these better fits the latter definition as the primary intent is to add flavor, rather than act of the visual appeal of the food i.e. to act as an ingredient rather than decoration.

As this is a semi-protected article I am requesting a consensus on this wording change prior to making an official request per the policy guidelines. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:88E4:350:997B:395A:559C:8B4E (talk) 00:32, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
