[edit] Itadakimasu

At most a dicdef, but since it's really a translation, I'm not sure it belongs in the dictionary. Fallsend 23:34, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete as dicdef/translation jnothman ^talk 23:59, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, important part of Japanese dining culture, in the same way that Bless you is an important part of Western sneeze-related culture. Kappa 02:07, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

  Since "bless you" is not in japanese wikipedia, why should an similar Japanese phrase be notable in english wikipedia? --Rogerd 04:45, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

  Because wikipedias are not-culture-specific. We have a project about that: WP:BIAS. Kappa 20:45, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

  Unfortunately, this article can't be expanded much more than it is. "Itadakimasu" is what you say before you eat. You might mention some derivation of the word from Buddhist traditions, but that's about it. It doesn't deserve an article on its own, but could be merged into Japanese cuisine (for lack of a better place). --howcheng [ t • c • w • e ] 21:06, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. I'd keep an article on Irasshaimasse, but not this. Are there articles for Gochisou-sama too? At best, it should be mentioned in an article on Japanese culinary habits or something like that. --howcheng [ t • c • w • e ] 19:59, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
