[edit] Your recent contributions

Please remember that this is the English wikipedia, and articles must be in English. Also Wikipedia is not a cookbook and although articles on types of food may be appropriate, pure recipes are generally not. -- Flyguy649 talk 03:49, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you so much for your articles!

Hi Portorricensis, thanks for contributing articles on Puerto Rican cuisine. I hope you haven't been discouraged at these deletion messages, but I think I've managed to rescue most of the stubs from the wastebin. It might be helpful to combine all the hot sauce articles into one unified Pique article, if you'd be up for the task, which I'd be more than happy to help with. Keep up the great work! :) ~Eliz81(C) 07:12, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Hey, Eliz, good idea. I'll try to do it later! And thanks for all your offered assistance on this.

[edit] Baneké

I must ask, is this another Taino/Carib name? to be honest I was born and raised in Puerto Rico and this is the first time that I have seen this term, Joel also seems unfamiliar with it. Can you explain your addition? - Caribbean~H.Q. 19:55, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi, Joel, thanks for asking. I know that a lot of people in Puerto Rico don't ever hear or get to learn several details about our history. Especially because the one they teach on the books are "officialized" by the government through the "Departamento de Educación". Our history books havn't been revised in more that 50 years, so most of the recent discoveries have no part in "official" books.

Baneké (or Banequé) is the name of an island (Borikén), mentioned in the diary of Columbus of 1492, who the lucayos mentioned as being located east-southeast of its archipelago and where gold abounded. This was discovered by European historian Adam Szasdi in the 80s.

Take care,

I'm not Joel, he is another Puerto Rican sysop, I was referencing him because he didn't seem familar with the word when revising the article. I was just curious over the meaning of the term, since not even in the Universidad del Turabo where I took my early humanities classes (and they call themselves Taínos ;-) this was mentioned. Anyway, thanks for the explanation, keep up the good work in the culinary and the Taíno-related articles, cheers. - Caribbean~H.Q. 21:01, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Oh, OK. Hey, if it were you the one who deleted the info. I placed on the Taino page, please, reconsider to do a little research about it and brig it back. I wont do it again, since I feel I already lost time and effort on that.

Thanks, man,

--Portorricensis (talk) 21:05, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

The info was removed by Joel, I didn't revert the edit because he is more experienced than me in terms of history and politics, but I can take some time to check a few books in college and find a reference. - Caribbean~H.Q. 21:10, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Cool! The best book you can ever read about this topics is the actual Christopher Columbus Diary. The have it now online:

Well, "see" you later, guys!

[edit] mofongo

Happy to help. Sadly, I've never eaten it or any other Puerto Rican dishes, but I noticed the page needed some pictures so I searched flickr. Maybe I'll look around Toronto for a Puerto Rican restaurant and see if they have mofongo. - TheMightyQuill (talk) 04:58, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
