Talk:Kuku (food)

Ingredients and prep

I put in the paragraph of ingredients and prep without citations. I looked at 12 recipes, most published by Persian authors and/or Persian friendship societies including some written in Persian (with help from Google translate). The recipes were quite similar and often identical. Rather than clutter the article (and Wikipedia servers) with a long list of links to the recipes, I thought that anyone wishing specifics can simply Google 'Kookoo Sabzi' (or 'Kuku Sabzi').--@Efrat (talk) 10:55, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

Just FYI Atefrat it would be better to cite your sources in future. There's no shortage of space in the page or on the servers. - Pointillist (talk) 11:52, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

MERGES

Merge Kookoo and Kuku (food)? Definitely They are mere duplications. Merge what to what? I personally prefer the spelling 'kuku'. Merge Kookoo/Kuku and 'Ajjah? Not so sure They are very similar but not absolutely identical. It would be like merging Kookoo and Frittata. --@Efrat (talk) 15:01, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

Picture of Frittata

I removed the picture of Frittata from the article. Even though they are similar foods, they are not the same and they do not look identical. Jooojay (talk) 07:14, 14 October 2014 (UTC)

External links

I've removed one that is a 'sign in to unlock' and one that was a red wikilink. I've added 'dead link' to another (it may need _ s adding in the blanks or other sorting), and have concerns about the Food for Friends one as it belongs to a restaurant. There is no advertising visible on the recipe page, however, so I think it can stand. Peridon (talk) 13:31, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

Fixed the dead link, it was just a small issue. Thanks Peridon, Jooojay (talk) 04:31, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

Origin of kuku sib-zamini

The cited source gives the origin as Gilan province, but a recent edit to the potato pancake article called this misinformation. Do we have any better sources to either support or refute this origin? Ibadibam (talk) 22:17, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

Are there any links to various sources that show Gilan province vs. other regions? We don't use edits to other WP articles to verify facts (we use citations) and the example edit doesn't have a citation provided. Jooojay (talk) 16:46, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

That being said, the (poor) citation used did not actually say this food was specific to the Gilan province however the WP article did, so I edited the WP article. Jooojay (talk) 17:09, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

The relevant passage from the cited source is: "Given that this food has no garlic, I would’ve never guessed it from Gilan, the green ‘Province of Rain’ along the Caspian Sea." Ibadibam (talk) 01:29, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
