Cookbook talk:Middle Eastern cuisines

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)
