Talk:Paska (bread)

message: I've edited it to try to make it less US-centric - Wikipedia in English is not an American encyclopedia and Paska is a living Eastern European tradition, not a tradition of some mythical "Old Europe" that was brought to the USA where it lives on. Also, there are Eastern European immigrant populations in countries other than the USA, including the UK and Canada where this bread is also eaten.
It would be nice if someone who knows about this could add sections about this bread in specific countries e.g. Poland and Ukraine and perhaps in the UK and Canada as well.

message: I propose that Cheese paska be merged into this article, as it appears that cheese paska is either a subtype of paska, or describes paska served with cheese.  --Joel7687 (talk) 14:05, 15 April 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for posting the merge template and initiating this discussion. I had considered that option as paska and the cheese dip it's served with are closely related (to the point of sharing a name in Ukrananian although the Ukranian word for cheese is sometimes appended to clarify wheen it's the cheese side being discussed). The stumbling block for me is that kulich, a Russian paska, is a completely separate article from the Ukranian paska and the russian refer to the cheese side as paska. So if you merge the cheese dip to the Ukrainian article on paska then the cheese dip (referred to as paska by Russians who refer to the bread as Kulich) wouldn't be covered at all in relation to Russian paska/kulich, except in an article on Ukranian kulich-paska. Does that make sense? One alternative is to merge the cheese paska article into BOTH kulich and paska, which I guess is a possibility, although it seems cumbersonme. I decided to keep the cheese dip separate since it is after all a side and not one and the same with the Easter bread, even though they are served together (ie. next to each other). It seems that the cheese paska is less common these days for what that's worth. Candleabracadabra (talk) 14:59, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

text: It would probably make more sense to merge kulich and paska, in which case it could be covered in the combined article. But given the present political situation I'm not comfortable attempting such an effort. Perhaps someone with more courage than I have can undertake such an attempt.

text: Support merge. Not enough sources to warrant independent notability. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 06:51, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Can you clarify which article you would merge to paska or kulich? Have you read the above discussion? Candleabracadabra (talk) 11:26, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

text: Oppose. I think Cheese paska must be merged into another article, namely Paskha. In contrast, Paska (bread) can be merged with Kulich. --Off-shell (talk) 10:03, 30 August 2014 (UTC)

text: Oppose they are entirely independent dishes. Cheese Paskha (spelled PasKHa not PasKa) originates in North Ruussia. Paska Bread is from South Russia & Ukraine. 2.97.131.123 (talk) 22:44, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

message: Hey you've been editing this page a while, can you clarify why you removed the Trypillian link in your last edit? (I'm not super invested, but clearly it's been here a while so I was curious if it was incorrect or misleading.) Ogress 16:30, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

message: Paska is not solely Ukrainian, I'm sure plenty of people there make enjoy it there but I have never known it to be Ukrainian. My family is from Russia and every Easter we make paska, we also refer to it as "Russian Easter bread". I have never been to Russia, nor do I know just how common paska is there, but I think the wikipedia page should acknowledge It's somewhat Russian origins. I don't know my way around wikipedia editing and past pages, so I don't know when paska became known on here as being Ukrainian, but I have my assumptions. 
I just hope someone can sort this out and make it as accurate as it should be. Thanks. 208.74.106.12 (talk) 07:23, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
