message: Is the origin of the name albanian? According to the Greek article, the word kokoretsi derives from a romanian word. Some citation is needed. --CeeKay 01:08, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

message: It is indeed Albanian, thus I would suggest to move the article to Kukurec as per originality. What do you think?

thread_title:  Merge Greek adn Turkish 

message: this is not greek food.this is balkan or turkish food.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.179.113.130 (talk) 18:42, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not Greek or Balkan. It's a Yörük food coming from Turkic tribes in Asia. Yörüks had very little food sources in endless Asian steppes, they had to eat each and every part of animals to survive. They came up with the idea of kokoreç centuries ago. Once they moved into Anatolia in the Seljuk and Ottoman times, kokoreç was introduced to nearby regions such as Greece, Albania and Balkans in general which was under Turkish rule for centuries.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.230.100.48 (talk) 09:43, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Do you have reliable sources for this? Also, is there a respectable Turkic etymology?  My understanding is that the word kokorec is Albanian (but I am certainly no expert). Thanks, --Macrakis (talk) 13:52, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Etymology does not support Central Asia claims, Kokorec has no meaning in Turkic, unless  we accept Flawed logic as evidence, it cannot be Turkic. Although historically there is a similar dish in Caucasus among North Caucasian people. Name is nothing similar, I am sure all over the world there are cultures which use intestines as food.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.100.31.105 (talk) 12:23, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  origin 

message: I don't know about other countries, but in Greece we always use liver in kokoretsi. In fact liver,lungs and sweetbreads are the main filling and heart is only used for keeping the rest of them firmly on the stewer. Kidneys are rarely used because they tend to melt and fall off or in the worst case explode (!). Also, lemon and olive oil are never used for seasoning,as the lemon would "harden" the ingredients and olive oil is not needed as their is enough fat already. Vineagar or lemon is used to thorougly clean the  long intestines used for wrapping. Could I add a recipe and/or change the article?  Yeomos (talk) 15:00, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

message: I apologize if I had no reason to question Albanian origin of the word here. The name sounded Greek to me. Still, I would appreciate if the quote from the source could be provided?--Antidiskriminator (talk) 22:43, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
