Talk:Frybread

Frybread

The article talks about frybread but fails to quickly define exactly What frybread is. After looking at this article, I learned more about what frybread was from the first sentence of a Chinese language recipe website than I did from the entire Wikipedia frybead article. :( — al-Shimoni (talk) 03:48, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

Request received to merge articles: Bannock (Indigenous American) into Frybread; dated: Nov/2021. Proposer's Rationale: {I've split off an article, Bannock (Indigenous American) from the more Scottish Bannock (food). Looking at the content of the new page, however, there is a clear overlap with Frybread. I know that this will be a contentious topic, but it seems to me that there is no clear distinction, though of course there are varying recipes and nomenclature. In particular, bannock seems more popular as a name in Canada, and frybread in the United States. To avoid unnecessary duplication, I therefore suggest merging the two articles to a new article, Frybread and Bannock, with both the existing pages being redirects. Thoughts?}. Discuss here.

• Oppose Ingredients might be similar but preparation and end results are different. Yuchitown (talk) 18:19, 15 November 2021 (UTC)Yuchitown
• Oppose I think I fall on the oppose side of this for now though I agree that a lot of the same wording is used in both articles to describe them both and would like to see further discussion on how to best improve and maybe differentiate both articles. --ARoseWolf 18:53, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

Comment The top results from Google [1] suggest that there is no hard and fast distinction between the two, and that at least some people view them as interchangeable. Absent a definitive recipe/cooking method for either, how to tell?

• Oppose Frybread is specifically a Reservation-era food that was created from commodities provided to tribes by the US Government. Big difference.Montanabw^(talk) 04:23, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

Fry bread and torta frita

Fry bread and torta frita .. if they're identical how can it be that it's a native American food?.. this fry bread is basically all over the planet.. someone please explain that? 174.83.241.168 (talk) 01:44, 27 November 2021 (UTC)

Flatbreads exist all over the world…but names differ…frybread, tortilla, pancake, whatever. They all get articles. Montanabw^(talk) 08:57, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

Similar foods subsection

Is this subsection necessary. As there is the “List of fried dough foods” page IceCuba (talk) 20:24, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

“ This article is about the American regional food. For other types of fried bread, see fried bread.”

No, it Covers fried bread and a number of other areas. And Fried bread is a stub mentioning the US and the UK. Doug Weller talk 15:46, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

Oh, I see we started here. It looks like the article needs to be trimmed of all the "varieties", or they could be moved into the similar foods section. They may be similar foods, but fry bread has a distinct history and culture. Valereee (talk) 12:41, 5 February 2023 (UTC)

I've done a bit of a rewrite and trim. I think we could still use a copyedit. Valereee (talk) 13:52, 5 February 2023 (UTC)

Thanks. Doug Weller talk 13:55, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
