References

Agatha Christie is not a valid reference for this article. (68.173.105.4 (talk) 04:08, 13 April 2012 (UTC))

Well, it's a primary source, which isn't optimal. But I think that for verifying it's a favorite drink of Hercule Poirot (a statement that constitutes the entire popular culture section), Christie will suffice. A more pressing issue is the sourcing for the important parts of the article. Rivertorch (talk) 05:34, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

"creme"?

Why is it called 'creme' de cassis? with no cream, I mean. and it's not creamy. --2607:FEA8:D5DF:F3D9:E096:4A02:3D97:1BC1 (talk) 00:59, 17 March 2020 (UTC)

Because one of the meanings of "crème" is "a sweet liqueur". See definition of crème --Akhooha (talk) 01:12, 17 March 2020 (UTC)

Having tried it, it's rather thick and viscous, like cream. And since I'm ill at the moment, I find that it's soothing for a cough, in a similar way that warm honey-and-citrus is soothing. ~Anachronist (talk) 03:49, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
