I would like it if someone could have a different picture, in order to better understand the size of a ramekin. If a human hand were in the picture, I could tell if what I have in my cupboard are ramekins. I think they may be too small, but I can't tell. 98.82.193.95 (talk) 02:21, 12 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
etymonline says, "toasted cheese and bread, 1706, from French ramequin (late 17c.), said to be from a Germanic source (compare Middle Low German rom "cream"), from Proto-Germanic *rau(g)ma-, which is of uncertain origin.". I am not sure the Dutch origin in the article is assertable. Glennglazer (talk) 16:40, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
So it's not "ram", it's rather like Norwegian "rømme" (sour cream).
