[edit] Armenian Cuisine

Manti is part of the Armenian cuisine it is wide spread. This source: "Armenian Food: Fact, Fiction & Folklore By Irina Petrosian, David Underwood" says it all about the Armenian foods explains how it originated or how Armenians observed it into there cuisine or culture for Mantı .

Ok, I'm adding it into the article then.Ombudsee 08:17, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
I have not seen this book, but the Amazon.com information does not give me great confidence that it is a good source. The publisher's blurb includes "What ancient Armenian fable warned against genetically-altered food? What little-known Armenian fruit may have helped Noah on the ark? What was the diet of David of Sassoun, the legendary Armenian Hercules?" And who is the publisher? Lulu, a vanity press which you pay to publish your book. That is, the authors couldn't find a reputable publisher to publish this. This might be because it is of specialized interest, of course. By the way, the Oxford Companion to Food has a good article on Armenian food, which doesn't mention mantı (of course, it can't mention everything). --Macrakis 17:33, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
Well you know in the case of cuisines, it's more of an area thing rather than nationality. I mean is hummus a part of Turkish cuisine or not? or can imambayildi also be considered as greek? I think it's more like how you percieve it. I know that mantı is served also in Azerbaijan and probably in Georgia too, so maybe we can change the wording the consist all those. So what do you say, in or out orchange the wording?
The picture on the article by the way has nothing to do with Turkish mantı by any means by the way. Maybe I'll cook some and photograph it to put here.Ombudsee 19:26, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Can someone go over the sources please?

I've never seen this "bibliography section" type of a sourcing anywhere else. It sounds like the english essays with pharaphrasing we did in the university. Can someone with a good command on how sourcing works can fix that section? I'll do it if nobody else does but I guess first I'll have to learn how to.Ombudsee 08:29, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
