Cookbook talk:Middle Eastern cuisines

From Wikibooks, the open-content textbooks collection

Aren't most of these countries in the Near East, rather than Middle East?

Hi. Israel needs its own separate entry. It is a country of immigrants from all over the world, and the foods that have become popular - while many are Middle Eastern - many others are quite certainly not. Do Palestinians eat Kubana? Jahnun? Gefilte fish? Osem chocolate spread? Even the Middle Eastern ones have taken on their own Israeli flavor.

While I don't disagree with your position, you have de-linked an existing page, and replaced it with non existant links to two pages. If possible, please look at Cookbook:Cuisine of Israel / Palestine and determine where it should go, then let a logged in user know, so they can move the page to the correct title.

I can't find the reason why Arab cuisine was deleted. I have a few recipes that are wide-spread throughout the Arab countries like Khubz (pita bread) and Ful (fava bean stew).

BTW, I think that Israeli cuisine does belong in the correct geographic area. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by David Cheater (talk • contribs) 2007-06-19T01:40:36.

The logs show that "Arab cuisine" was deleted because it was empty. I don't know anything further than that. Perhaps you should take this up on the Cookbook talk page, where it will be seen by more Cookbook editors.

BTW, ful just means fava bean; there are many recipes using ful, so perhaps you might like to call your ful recipe something other than just "ful", e.g. ful medames. Webaware ^talk 03:30, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
