Khm, the story is great, but there was no Turkish raid on Buda (& Pest) in 1686, because the city was under Turkish occupation since 1541... In fact, 1686 saw it liberated by Austria and other western allies from the Turkish... --Sicboy 02:02, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Etymology

In Hungarian, kifli doesn't mean "twist" nor "crescent". The linked references doesn't support the sentence from the text. See also https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/kifli. --170.252.108.30 (talk) 12:29, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

Origin of word

There was a mistake inserted into the text, and in order not to see the same mistake again, hereby I quote (quickly translating) from the "Etimológiai szótár" that the word "kifli" is first recorded in 1785, and is of an Austrian German origin, "Kipfel", having the same meaning. And (being a Hungarian myself), this particular food had the same name since decades. So the claim that the name was coined from a pop group's name is misleading and clearly untrue. By the way, what I just said about the etymology might fit well in the Wiktionary. 84.3.190.36 (talk) 16:06, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Thery're really hard to find in Alabama. Apparently you have to know a Hungarian person who's kind enough to make some for you. And apparently they're only made during the christmas season. 72.148.31.106

Rediredt from kifle

I, being a Croat living in Serbia, enjoy Kifli a lot. Lots of Serbs in my city (Cacak) refer to them as Kifle, as the plural form. Thanks. Mateom28 (talk) 02:23, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

Nicely written

My family hails from the Carpathian Mountains (Rusyn), and although considered to be Slovak, we consider ourselves Rusyn in heritage. We used to fill our Kifli with finely ground walnut filling, lekvar, and raspberry and apricot preserves. The dough is the tricky part, as butter and eggs must be incorporated into the mixture (butter around 2°C, eggs near room temp). It must also be folded and rolled to create the "flakiness" necessary for the proper texture. Thanks to all who contributed to this wonderful article.PA MD0351XXE (talk) 06:56, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

The reference to the "widely popular pop group" is a prank and should be deleted. Follow the link--it's a group of friends messing around. Arankine (talk) 06:37, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Bratislavske rozky

Perhaps the section on sweets should also contain "Bratislavske rozky" which are probably also derived from the same type of bread (and their name contains the word "rozok" as well). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.167.151.24 (talk) 13:15, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

Help for January 20th appearance on Main Page

This article is to be PotD on January 20, and normally we start the blurb from the lead, but the lead is just a list of the names for this item in different languages, and most of those names don't bring up much on an English google search. I'm hoping to get some help from people who are interested in subjects related to the countries/languages listed. --valereee (talk) 16:58, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
