replies: text: After eating quite a bit of kushari this summer in Cairo, I added a bit here.  I'm not quite comfortable with the word "traditional" because I doubt that kushari goes back more than a couple of hundred years, but I chould be wrong about that.  It didn't seem that people were eating it in places that claimed to be traditional, but that might just be because it was seen as a low-class food.  Speaking of which, was I too heavy handed referring to it as fast food?  There did seem to be quite a lot of kushari taken away.  Also, please sign your comments. --Zachbe 18:07, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I assume the reference to "fasts" really implies breaking fast, rather than fast itself. Perhaps, then, a better link would be Iftar - the Arabic name for the breakfast eaten at sunset during the holy month of Ramadan. In any case, I wouldn't say that Kosheri being eaten at Iftar is more significant than it being eaten for dinner - it's really no more common than any other food eaten at this time. It just depends where you are and how much money you have. Madeinsane 18:38, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You're getting the wrong end of the stick, Zachbe meant 'fast' as in 'served quickly' rather than 'fast' as in 'go without food'. FlagSteward 01:23, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Just curious - Is kushari related at all to the South Asian dish khichdi (kedgeree in Britain)? --SameerKhan 21:52, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I don't think it should be stated that Koshari is available at many establishments that serve ta'meyya (falafel), because as an Egyptian I can tell you most places that serve ta'meyya serve foul, potatoes, eggplant, pickles, and more things, sometimes including shawerma, but rarely koshari. I made the change. Tamer (talk) 10:07, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

im not turning this political, but its an inaccurate piece of info, one could include palestine/palestinians/palestinian territories instead of israel to reflect more accuracy.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.227.104.190 (talk) 07:07, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
