Talk:monter

There is also the culinary use of monter in French, meaning to enrich, usually by working fat into a dish (in such a way that it's fully eumlsified or absorbed) to finish it before serving. It's possible this has a different etymology and is related to Italian/Spanish mantecare, which means the same thing. Does anyone know?142.160.123.15 16:38, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

This is presumably the source (or at least synonymous with) the culinary sense of mount (verb). fr:monter has it but seems to accept it as the same etymology as the other ("mount a horse", etc) senses. - -sche (discuss) 23:36, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
