Talk:Balkenbrij

New England??
Scrapple (see its article) is most often associated with Philadelphia, which is far from New England.--BillFlis 15:07, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Weird to put Panhas it in the Dutch region.
Panhas is a traditional dish from Cologne and the region around it (mostly to the north, following the lowland geography). From our position it is quite the misrepresentation to say it’s a Dutch dish that also exists in the Rhine land. Because Panhas definitely originated in our region, and Balkenbrij may have originated in the Dutch west of us but then it’s not the same thing. Merely a similar idea of poor people using up leftovers from butchering. It’s a bit like all this is based on hearsay (aka sources) by people who have never been here, let alone understood the culture beyond a tourist level. (Hint: The cultural divides here are by region (lower Rhine delta vs mountanous area around it), and by rivers (the east of the Rhine was not under Roman rule, of which there are cultural remains to this day). This means that the north of Cologne (plus a bit to Bonn) and the Dutch area to the west of us are culturally very close to us, while the gradients to British and Frisian culture grow when going to the north-west and north.) — 2A0A:A546:A9B0:1:178B:FBC6:D7CF:D857 (talk) 13:47, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
