About the Desserts Task Force
Welcome to the Desserts task force! Whether you have a big sweet tooth or just want to help out Wikipedia, this is the place for you.
Scope
This task force started out as a WikiProject designed to be a complete resource on ice cream topics including shops, brands and frozen desserts in general. Unfortunately, interest in this project dropped off and it was changed to a task force and merged into the Food and Drink WikiProject. It has been rededicated to the more general, though no less tasty, subject of desserts.

Community forums
In 2008, a community forum was established to help manage common goals of the associated Food and Drink WikiProjects. The inactive discussion is located here.
Goal specific forums
Guidelines forum - This forum has been set up for the various Food and Drink projects to develop a set of Manual of Style guidelines for use in articles under the auspices of all the related Food and Drink WikiProjects and task forces. This would be similar to the MoS guidelines for biographies or legal articles.
Restaurant notability guidelines discussion - This guideline is intended to extend WP:CORP, in no way to replace its purpose, in regard to restaurants. It is also not intended to replace, supplant, or otherwise alter the standard notability requirements.
Essensia - Albertson's brand, according to St. Petersburg Times article (google cache)
Galaxy (ice cream) - according to black information link article Galaxy is a brand of Masterfoods (a subsidiary of Mars), and is sold (or at least advertised) in England.
Hennig-Olsen is (Norway) http://www.hennig-olsen.no/ probably, but it seems to be only in Norwegian, and I don't read that language. JesseW, the juggling janitor 23:25, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
