Talk:Cuisine of Hong Kong

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Page move/rename

This page should be moved to Cuisine of Hong Kong to bring it more in line with other Cuisine of foo? Most people looking for Hong Kong food would be searching for Cuisine of Hong Kong, and eating culture is a much less widely-used term. --Yuje 18:29, July 19, 2005 (UTC)

Is this currently nominated to Wikipedia:Requested moves? Or it's just meant to be an ordinary discussion (i.e. not subjected to the directions of WP:RM)? — Instantnood 19:59, July 19, 2005 (UTC)

I remain neutral on the move. But as the one who created this page, I guess I'd be in a better position to explain why it was titled as such. I used "eating culture" instead of "cuisine" because many different cuisines and eating cultures, in addition to the indigenious, have been incorporated into the popular eating culture of Hong Kong, and have been integral part of it. — Instantnood 17:22, July 22, 2005 (UTC)

In line with the move of this page, the Category:Hong Kong eating culture should also be moved to Category:Cuisine of Hong Kong. I understand that food in Hong Kong incorporates different culinary traditions, but if these have indeed become an integral part of its culture, that would be part of its cuisine.--Yuje 00:30, July 26, 2005 (UTC)

Indeed. Cuisine is not a fixed entity in which something has to be "indigenious" or "local" before it can be called as such. Hong Kong is not the only place on Earth in which "foreign food" is localised. Most food on earth go through the exact same process, and I do wonder how tenable it is to argue that food in any locality is "not a cuisine" because it is not "original" enough. Hence, I have no objections to this move, or to that of the corresponding category.--Huaiwei 08:54, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

shouldn't we move the contents of this page to cantonese cuisine? Weili 07:16, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
