Talk:Pupusa

message: There is an inconsistency in the abstract of the article in this part: ...Pupusa is the Spanish elocution of popotlax, which is a combination of the nahuatl words (Mayan language), popotl meaning large, stuffed, bulky... 
The Nahuatl language is not a Mayan language, they do not belong to the same language families nor the same geographic area or time period, so the "(Mayan language)" text should be removed from the article. See wikipedia articles: Uto-Aztecan languages, Mayan languages.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.48.117.157 (talk) 23:02, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

message: These "Pupusa" look just like stuffed Parantha, just that these pupusa are made from corn, rather than wheat flour. Any thoughts????  EyeMD T|C 15:55, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

message: It seems that the food producer Goya has picked up on the trend. I just bought a box of their cheese & bean Pupusas tonight at the local Food Lion in Durham, N.C. There is an icon on the package that reads "Authentic Salvadorian Flavor." I'd be curious to know more.  The Goya version was made out of wheat flour, by the way.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Slatimore (talk • contribs) 04:31, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Be careful not to eat more than 2 pupusas. They are loaded with calories. Just two pupusas can pack up to 600 calories. That's a lot of calories with very little nutritional value. Salvadoran food is, sadly, very high in calories and carbs but very low in vitamins. Beans and cassava are pretty much the only two healthy things in the salvadoran diet and they are usually prepared deep fried with gallons of vegetable oil (usually the cheap, trans fat kind). People criticize fast food, but salvadoran ethnic cuisine is a killer too.190.87.119.8 (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 21:50, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

message: In the "Type" line, this article lists a pupusa as a sandwich. I disagree. Sandwiches are not encased, and thus do not have fillings. They are, perhaps, not "Hispanic dumplings" as I altered the line to. I'll admit that that phrase was just a first suggestion, rapidly reverted by Jotomar. But sandwich, I would argue, is just as unbefitting as what I put, if not drastically more. The OED defines a sandwich as: "An article of food for a light meal or snack, composed of two thin slices of bread, usu. buttered, with a savoury (orig. spec. meat, esp. beef or ham) or other filling. Freq. with specifying word prefixed indicating contents". I'll admit that the OED's is quite a prescriptivist interpretation of the food category, but I cannot think of another single food which I've ever seen labelled as a sandwich which approximates the structure, preparation process, or presentation of a pupusa. As a compromise I'd say why not just delete the "Type" line and allow pupusa to a food of its merit, without the need of gustatory taxonomy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.255.87.227 (talk • contribs)

message: As the rest of the page clearly proves, pupusas are common in at least part of Honduras and that cannot be hidden in either the infobox or the lead. --Jotamar (talk) 18:14, 24 February 2020 (UTC)

text: None of the sources given in the article are scholarly sources. In the absence of such sources, we cannot decide the question. So, naming both El Salvador and Honduras as countries of origin is the only possible solution. --Rsk6400 (talk) 07:01, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Honduras 

message: Please remove the source that pupusas originated in Honduras. Throughout the information submitted its already been settled that Pupusas are from the indigenous pipil tribe in El Salvador. The sources provided about Honduras are not credible. Already, there was an investigation on the pipil tribe. It’s a national dish for Salvadorans and important to Salvadoran culture primarily. We already settled this a long time ago and need to stop the argument. The whole article provides evidence to Salvadorans. Facts346 (talk) 08:39, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

text: The field origin in the infobox obviously refers to the countries where the recipe is part of the local cuisine, as opposed to all those countries where it has become popular in recent times, for instance pupusas in the US. The field can't refer to its ultimate historical origin, since that is almost impossible to know for most dishes. --Jotamar (talk) 16:56, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

text: I didn't insert Honduras, nor did I revert your changes, please take a look at the page history. I'm just saying that the sources have not been written by professional historians, and so are not sufficient to remove Honduras. I'm sorry, I didn't understand what "Edu source" you are referring to. --Rsk6400 (talk) 18:33, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

message: The indigenous Nawat word for pupusa is kukumutzin, not "pupusawa" which I've never even heard being used in the Nawat language. This was even addressed in the wiktionary entry that it's validity is in question:
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/pupusa
It would be recommended to remove "pupusawa" and any mention of the word and to replace it with kukumutzin where it is appropriate.

thread_title:  Alternative Names 

message: If you see that another editor disagrees, you don't start an edit war, but you start a discussion here on this talk page, see WP:BRD. And you absolutely don't call an edit "vandalization" simply because you disagree. The source you gave is no reliable source, see WP:RS. The article arepa names several countries, but Venezuela and Colombia come first, and so I think we should stick to that. Rsk6400 (talk) 17:38, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

message: Request to change the wording of the first sentence as it can be misleading. The first paragraph makes it sound as though pupusas are definitively from Honduras along with El Salvador, when later in the same wikipedia page it establishes that there is no direct evidence connecting the origin of the pupusa to Honduras other than tracing of Indigenous ancestry. Request to change this line with, "A Pupusa is a filled thick griddle cake sold in the Central-American area. The origin of the Pupusa is attributed to the Nahua people of Modern day El Salvador and parts of Western Honduras..." Thank you for your consideration :) Ashwinmendez1 (talk) 15:58, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure about this, since also the Nahua origins seem doubtful (according to the "Origin" section). Rsk6400 (talk) 18:00, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

message: Pupusas from southwestern Nicaragua pre-date pupusas from Honduras by 50 years. The earliest documentation of pupusas in Honduras is 1897 while Nicaragua is 1837. This lends more credibility to pupusas originating from the Pipils as the Nahuas of Nicaragua (Nicarao people) were originally part of the Pipil group before they separated by migrating into western Nicaragua. Therefore it's possible that the Nicaraos brought common Pipil dishes with them like the pupusa, providing yet another Pipil connection to the pupusa MiguelRamirez77 (talk) 04:40, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
