Talk:Sabich

message: ==Untitled==
Now, as far as i've managed to verify the issue, Sabich is not served and known in that name in iraq. It's of iraqi origins, but it's an israeli 'mutation', so to speak. according to that, it should be removed from "iraqi cuisine" and moved to "Israeli cuisine". i doubt this issue will be easy to source, but then again the alternative is unsourced as well...

message: The first Sabich stand was in Ramat Gan, by a man named Tsvi. In Iraq, they call him Sabich. The dish is after his name. He still sell Sabichs, but he is not that good at Sabichs, and sells better Sambusaks. 
The dish is indeed originally Iraqi - only they eat there the ingredients separately, on a plate. The idea to put it all in a pita is originally Israeli. 
The steamed potato and other variant additions (feta cheese, anise), are newer additions, developed as the Sabich gained popularity. In the 90's, you could get it mainly in Ramat Gan and Givataim. Nowadays, it is sold everywhere, and is popular as Falafel if not more. (109.67.34.61 (talk) 23:33, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

text: I suppose the first question would be what this food is called in other countries. Since the name, as cited in this article, stems from a Hebrew acronym, I would assume that in neighboring countries it must have an equivalent Arabic name. --Bachrach44 (talk) 20:11, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  The origin of the name 

message: As the edit history shows, there is some disagreement about whether steamed potatoes should be considered as part of the ingredients. Probably it should, though some of the rather respectable Sabich stands do avoid it and still produce excellent Sabich dishes.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.81.0.149 (talk) 21:13, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

message: This article needs to be expanded to include information on the food in other countries.  Current texts only mentions Israel and therefore gives the appearance it is only an Israeli food. +Avayaricoh (talk) 22:30, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

message: The article is called Sabich, the lead says Sabih and the rest of the article talks about Sabikh. I know that transliterations between alphabets are inconsistent, but pease could people decide on the most standard spelling and convert the  occurences of the other two with just a parenthetical mention of them as alternatives in the lead sentence.--Peter cohen (talk) 15:04, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

message: "(The notion that this dish was a Shabbat dish is absurd, as although cooking is prohibited on Shabbat there is a large range of durable dishes that are left simmering over a low fire from Friday afternoon until morning, thus providing the traditional hot morning and mid-afternoon meals. Early in the morning, the universally observant Iraqi Jews would eat nothing before the morning prayers)."
Unless this is sourced from somewhere, I'm not so sure it is absurd. I can tell you my Iraqi relatives pray early and finish synagogue at around 9-10 in the morning and generally eat a small, cold meal which often does consist of eggplant plus the eggs that cooked in the hamin all night. The hamin itself is eaten later. They have done this since the 1950s. Saying eggplant is eaten only for shabbat is absurd as they eat it for breakfast on other days as well, but it indeed appears to be eaten on Shabbat.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:8081:2603:E100:2DAA:B93E:A4B2:A5F8 (talk) 02:30, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
