Toques were popular from the 13th to the 16th century in Europe, especially France. They were revived in the 1930s; nowadays, they are primarily known as the traditional headgear for professional [[cook (profession)|cooks]], except in Canada, where the term ''toque'' is used interchangeably with the French Canadian spelling of ''tuque'' to refer to [[knit cap]]s.<ref name="merriam" />
