Picture
editThe lead picture for the Strozzapreti page isn't Strozzapreti. What gives? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:140:8400:6F6:4155:7217:BE94:C36D (talk) 23:18, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
Recipe
editI don't think the recipe should be here - see Wikipedia is not a manual, guidebook, or textbook. I've already reverted twice on this tonight, but I see it's reappeared, so I'll leave it for someone else to decide. – Tivedshambo (talk) 22:01, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Priest strangler or priest choker?
editThe article is not consistent — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kvsh5 (talk • contribs) 14:54, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
"Strozzare" is a verb which means to choke or to strangle. So it's not entirely clear what strozzapreti means -- choking or strangling. However it does NOT mean, as the article had implied, "priest choker". Strozza is the imperative of Strozzare, so it means "choke the priests" or "strangle the priests". There are many explanations of this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.18.14.65 (talk) 02:50, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
- This is correct. Strozzapreti means "choke the priests", not "priest choker". Why are people reverting it?
- Because it happens that some people here know Italian, and "strozza" is not only imperative, but, as in this case, third person present indicative. The word "strozzapreti" is an example of linguistic composition, and means "(The thing that) strangles the priests", "Priests strangler", exactly as "Tagliaerba" means "grass cutter", that is "(the thing that) cuts grass", not "Cut the grass!".
