Talk:Baba (cake)

Untitled
This was at the end. It doesn't seem to have either the correct tone or correct info.

Serving Suggestions
This dish, usually served within 1 hour of lunch, is best served warm and in a bowl. Delight your friends by adding toppings such as peanuts or corn.

I disagree; this is a sweet cake glazed with melted sugar; it served in Russia on Easter morning with tea. There is not corn to it.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to mention this, but... what the heck. The picture of "babka" does not correspond to the text. The photograph shows a POTATO babka, which is completely different from and somewhat less traditional than the yeast cake mentioned in the text. It might be a good idea to edit the picture out and look for a better, more suitable one. Cheers.

Although there's a reference to Lithuanian "bulvių plokštainis"; it's only called that by language purists. The popular term is "kugelis", which is a loanword which has its roots in "kugel" (see, for example, the recipe for "potato kugel"). It's a hearty, high-calorie potato recipe usually served as a side dish. Not the same at all as the sweet pastry babka that I can buy in bakeries here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.210.31.26 (talk) 23:35, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Where to purchase
These babka's look great baby! Are there any places in QUEENS NY to eat babka? Is it hard to make streusel babka rather than biltong? Should babka be served warm or cold? Is kokosh better? Is rugela the same thing just small? I like rugelaks. Thanks in advance. Matados Sanchez, NYC. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.108.110.111 (talk) 08:01, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Article title could do with further tweaking
Potato babka is a food too. Shouldn't this article be called "Babka (cake)"? --Simon Peter Hughes (talk) 14:57, 18 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Since there was no objection, I moved "Babka (food)" to "Babka (cake)". --Simon Peter Hughes (talk) 06:13, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
