Talk:Thali
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An important aspect of a thali is that it has foods from a 5 taste groups.
I've eaten in a lot of Indian restaurants, and I've 'never' encountered the "bottom-less" refills / "all-you-can-eat" mentioned in the entry. So at least in my experience this custom is not universal. -- 200.141.105.210 04:58, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
- Hmm, the all-you-can-eat concept does exist.. I've undoubtedly seen it at more than one restaurant. However, it certainly is not universal, and seems to be getting rarer as time progresses. Adityan 06:14, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
- It's more common then you would think. Most tourist places tend to surcharge for this but it's more common 'off the beaten track'. marcusbm 20:46, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
I have a dim memory that "thali" literally means the round tray on which the items are served. Can anybody confirm or deny this? -- 200.141.105.210 05:00, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, "thali" simply means plate or tray and I was also wondering why there is no mention of a "pooja thali" - the prayer plate the is prepared to bless people when they enter a home, etc. I don't know enough about it to confidently create a section, but at the very least, this article is incomplete. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.175.88.67 (talk) 22:40, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] thali/taali
Why is the article for taali included under thali instead of just a redirect to a seperate taali article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.214.98.22 (talk) 00:20, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
