Talk:Acorn noodle soup

This article says dotori guksu is made of walnut flour. It should be acorn flour. Cdecho (talk) 23:53, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

Title
Why was this article moved if, as the text states, the noodles are produced and eaten in both Korea and Japan, and have different varieties in names in both languages? That's why we moved Mugicha to an English title. Badagnani (talk) 09:08, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Because I suspect Japanese eat even products from acorn. (I've read many Japanese food related articles, like novel, manga or TV shows, and some of mountainous area eat it, but very a few) I heard of some "new" noodles made with little bit of acorn recently in South Korea. Well, I also strongly doubt Koreans have eaten the noodles from Neolithic period. Besides, the references do not have any of mention of acorn noodles. I think this article is an original reserach to be deleted. --Caspian blue (talk) 09:18, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

I have purchased and eaten the "new product" Korean acorn noodles. They are real. Regarding Japanese ones, of course Japanese eat many Korean foods, and if they're not really Japanese we keep the titles are the Korean titles (like the popular bibinba is not really a Japanese dish as far as I know). And, as soba is really Japanese (though Koreans eat it) we keep the title Japanese. But in the case of boricha/mugicha, I think it makes sense to have the title in English, as it's not clear that one borrowed that tea from the other. Badagnani (talk) 09:21, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

It's possible that the "new product" was based on something ancient, the way Vilac apparently revitalized sikhye. Badagnani (talk) 09:25, 23 June 2008 (UTC)


 * The article has technically no reference to be verified for every claims at this point. The attached references are no relation with the contents. The acorn noodles that you purchased might have tiny amount compared to the rest of ingredients. Acorns are even less glutinous than buckwheat or kuduzu. In that case, the noodles may be called acorn flavored noodles, not acorn noodles.--Caspian blue (talk) 09:30, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * No way, before Vilac producing the canned sikhye, the beverages has been widely favored by Koreans. The example is not even comparable.--Caspian blue (talk) 09:30, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Your points are valid. Many indigenous people ate acorns, including Native Americans, in ancient times, so perhaps northern Asian people did as well. Badagnani (talk) 09:39, 23 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Okay, why did I move to the translated English name to the current one? Because the lead says about "Korean noodles". I searched Korean and Japanese website, and 도토리국수 (dotori guksu) has almost 62000 hit and どんぐり そば (donguri soba) has 600 hits. According to the article of acorn at Japanese Wikpedia mentions about Korean acorn noodles, and how some ofJapanese mountainous regions consume it, but no mention about noodles, or soba. Well, the article should be rewritten based on "real references". However, I'm not that interested in doing such. --Caspian blue (talk) 10:03, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

I see. Is this something like dotorimuk? Badagnani (talk) 10:06, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, the site is like a promotion for people to eat acorn such as in the ancient time, Japanese ate acorn, so why don't we develop with it as food. The seemingly dotorimuk-like food is tofu made with acorn. The others are acorn cookies. I also found several articles that say that dotori guksu has been eaten in Gangwon region as a local specialty for more than 40 years. However, more interesting one is that a Korean immigrant who "invented" the noodles in some mountainous area of CA, US in "1997". --Caspian blue (talk) 10:15, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

It's craziness. Hope you can find sources over time. Badagnani (talk) 10:25, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
