Talk:Alfajor

message: no troll
:A year later, and this page still needs a LOT of work.
:There is a lot of repetition. There are abrupt transitions from one point to the next, in some cases before the first point was even fully elaborated.
:As a start, the article would be improved by forming a section specifically discussing alfajores de Medina Sidonia and distinguishing that protected legal designation from other forms of alfajores. In its current version, the article places too great an emphasis on alfajores of Medina Sidonia as being 'the only true' kind of alfajor, which is hardly a neutral position.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dezastru (talk • contribs) 03:12, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: This page is horrible

message: I think it's a little silly to say that Peruvian alfajores are more notable than Argentine or Uruguayan alfajores.  I've lived in all three countries and in my opinion alfajores occupy a much larger place in the national conversation in Argentina than in Peru.  Can you support that alfajores come "most notably" from Peru?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.251.220.242 (talk) 17:46, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Most notably?

message: ... dulce de leche is not a form of jam so i just changed the order of the words and know it sounds good and is basically saying the same thing, plus they have an article about dulce de leche so they can go and read it to find out what it is. Those are so good, i just eat like 4 today from a peruvian restaurant where they sell pollo a la brasa!--CesarCossio 08:30, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: That's true

message: The article is, well, nice and all, but without specific references the whole thing is just a bunch of possibly fake statements that could also be possibly true. If anybody can fix that, then by all means go ahead and do that.--[|!*//MarshalN20\\*!|] (talk) 13:00, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  In Need of References 

message: The images must be descriptive. This image is only by Spain's alfajors (only one country), but this type of alfajors is typical of several countries (Argentina, Brasil, Paraguay, Perú Uruguay, etc.). Ferbr1 (talk) 12:44, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: You need another article for your sweet, alfajor is a millenarian product, argentinian alfajor only share the name and they are known to be a variation taken to america by the colonists and made completely different due to the lack of ingredients. They are two productos totally different. Rafax (talk) 15:25, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: You are talking about a variation with a different meaning, i rollback. http://www.um.es/tonosdigital/znum18/secciones/estudio-12-alaju.htm Juan A. Frago Gracia: “La criollización del léxico hispanoamericano hizo que palabras que sólo tuvieron alcance regional en la Península Ibérica se hicieran generales o cobraran una enorme difusión en Indias, circunstancia que se entiende muy bien comparando la suerte que, por ejemplo, han corrido allende y aquende el Atlántico términos como alfajor y maceta, como muchísimos más” (“Variación en la documentación indiana del siglo XVI”, en RFE, LXXII, 1992, p. 409).   La forma alfajor, única trasplantada a  Las Indias, se mantiene allí vigente, con su significado básico, si bien con variantes semánticas. Recogemos algunas de ellas: “Alfajor ‘golosina formada con dos hojas de masa, similar a la colación, de forma ligeramente cóncava, yuxtapuestas por sus dorsos convexos por intermedio de una porción de dulce de fruta, de leche, turrón, durazno, membrillo, manzana, etc. y cubierto el todo con vidriado’. Voz cuya acepción es general en la Argentina. Rafax (talk) 16:50, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

text: I never meant american alfajors are less important, i mean they are a completely different thing and they need their own article and so has been referenced. I dont know if they are real or not, i used a valuable reference, not my opinion. Rafax (talk) 19:04, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

text: What sources have poor quality? tell me if you will and i'll fix them. The article is based in the alfajor, argentinian alfajores are a variation of the millenarian alfajor and a product that has absolutely nothing to do with the alfajores from the iberian peninsula, and apart from needing their own article, they are still being treated here, what do you mean by claiming that the article is hispanocentric and how do you expect a variation of a completely different product to be treaten?

thread_title:  Image in template 

message: There is no reference in the article that it really is a traditional Arabic confection. Only that the name etymologicaly may derive from the Arabian word for honeycomb, and that the name and product Alfajor is of specific Andalusian origin (which is not identical with Arabic).-- 178.112.75.188 (talk) 13:41, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  In Australia 

message: I cannot prove it with bibliography, but I think it is common sense.  I think that in North Africa they are right and the term Alfajor comes from the Arabic al-fajr which means sunrise.  It is so called because it was made with the foods that Islam allows to eat at dawn in the time of Ramadan.  You can check it by putting "Fajr food" in google.

thread_title:  New proposal for the origin of the world Alfajor 

message: So, in the "Europe" section, they describe the macaron, which, as said in the page, differs in shape, ingredients, name, filling and concept, and should not be taken as a counterpart of the alfajor. Should we just delete the French part of the page as to lack of connection with the topic? 89.205.226.158 (talk) 19:24, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  French macarons? 

message: I know nothing about these things (hence why I'm on the page) and I feel like the page doesn't give me much of a real idea of what they are. The opening of the article should try to explain more about what kind of confection it is rather than just saying it's a confection. Give me some idea of what's in it and how it's made. Compare with a page like the one on chocolate chip cookies. Lobuttomize (talk) 07:44, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  General Description? 

message: The history page is a complete mess and needs revision. Perhaps someone could find an authoritative paper on it, but that's a bit doubtful.
Recommend complete removal at the moment, as it seems to imply that Alfajores were created by Arabs and somehow brought to South America by some means, but gives no evidence or even a statement that backs it up.
All it has is an anonymous, uncited sentence that implies it originated in a cookbook. 2600:4040:74F8:1700:8C3F:5E6E:93C4:F174 (talk) 04:20, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
