# Talk:Palestinian cuisine

This page is subject to the extended confirmed restriction related to the Arab-Israeli conflict.

Hello all. I would like to inform the editors in charge of this page that the suffix انه(Āneh or Ooneh) is of Persian origin. Ooneh is the non-formal version of Āneh. This suffix can be seen throughout the Persian language such as برادرانه، دوستانه ، صبحانه and many more.

Also, the source (source 23) provided for the etymology of asrooneh has some obviously incorrect information on it. In the source, it is claimed that مزه (Mazzeh) is "derived from an Arabic word that describes the taste of dry wine; it also means to sip a drink over a long span of time, appreciating it fully. That is why the word, over the years, has come to mean food that is associated with alcoholic drinks such as Arak and wine." However, it is well known that Mazzeh derives from Middle Persian (myck', m(y)ck' /mizag/, “taste”). This word was loaned to Arabic, as is stated on the Wiktionary page for this term.

It would be great if someone could address this issue, or perhaps lift the lock so I can fix it. Thank you. MarkParker1221 (talk) 03:20, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

The source is clearly not high quality, and should be replaced, but the question is: is it the right term for an afternoon snack or is there another word for it? Iskandar323 (talk) 12:58, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
Good question. I am not sure if there is another term for it, but "Asrooneh" surely is a term that is used according to these sources;

There are more that look incredibly unreliable. It seems like many sources using the term "Asrooneh" used this wikipedia page as a source. This may be the case for the sources above as well, considering how they provide no sources for anything at all. The second sources formatting is identical to this Wikipedia page which makes it all the more likely that its simply copied off this page.  MarkParker1221 (talk) 16:51, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

If you’re going to say “Syria and Palestine” you might as well include the word Lebanon because the whole area was called Syria. Lebanesebebe123 (talk) 22:18, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

Referencing the article: 
“ Therefore, many aspects of Palestinian cuisine are similar to the cuisine of Syria—especially in the Galilee. Modern Syrian-Palestinian dishes have been generally influenced by the rule of three major Islamic groups: the Arabs, the Persian-influenced Arabs (Iraqis) and the Turks.” 

this needs to be edited. The exclusion of Lebanon, and the exclusion of mentioning Lebanon when discussing the Galilee is bias and makes the article incomplete. Southern Lebanon(upper Galilee) has influenced Palestinian Galilean food. Lebanesebebe123 (talk) 00:02, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

 Done This is already sourced in the body, so I added it to the lead. Thanks. Jamedeus (talk) 18:00, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
