[edit] Comments

[edit] Comparison

The article starts out with a comparison. However, did meze really originate from tapas, or did they come to be made separately? --Joy [shallot] 21:56, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Meze is food of Turkey

Meze is a very important part of Turkey not only in seafodd but with kebabs too. There is a mistake it is not Bosnia and Herzegovinian nor Greek origin (actually there are very small numbers of mezes Greek origin but it is not much). CrashMex 13:06, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

I don't see how your complaints relate to the article. It doesn't seem to make either of the points you are objecting to. In any case, this is hardly a neutrality issue, so I will remove the POV tag. Perhaps you could indicate here what you think the article shoudl say instead of what is currently there? Palmiro | Talk 14:55, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

I've put a citation request onto the statement about many Turkish meze being of Greek origin. If no-one comes up with a source for that in a week or so, we can take it out. Palmiro | Talk 15:10, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Food Programme

Did any one hear "The Food Programme", a BBC programme broadcast on Radio Four on October 14, and repeated on October 15? This was about mezze, and perhaps the insights could be used in this article. One thing considered was ambiguity about the origins of the term "mezze". ACEOREVIVED 16:15, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] halloumi as part of a greek meze

unless someone objects over the next ten days or so, i am going to remove the halloumi reference in the list of dishes one might have as a meze in greece. the fact of the matter is that this is totally innaccurate, and you'll need a damned good reason to keep it there —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hotspury (talk • contribs) 17:34, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
