Info Box: Calories "per serving"[edit]

Denoting calories of food "per serving" is an insult to everyone with an intellect. For obvious reasons. I don't know how to change the info box, so please anyone who knows should do.

Should be referred to as South Asia[edit]

Indian subcontinent is an obsolete term and there are other countries in the region. 99.247.148.255 (talk) 17:03, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The article refers not to the Indian subcontinent per se, but to another Wikipedia article named Sweets from the Indian subcontinent. The term is not obsolete - the article Indian subcontinent explains why it is not synonymous with South Asia. - Ram1751 (talk) 22:34, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Barfi made with Khoa[edit]

Hello, sirs. I want to point out few important things for parties concerned.

  • 1. Brafi is made from Khoa in South Asia. In Iran similar dish is made from almond flour, it's not called barfi there.
  • 2. Here is Iranian Shekarbura and Tabrizi Lovuez, these resemble barfi and are made from almond flour but are not called barfi.
  • 3. You can also look at the list "Category:Iranian_desserts" here, NONE of the sweets here are made with khoa (condensed milk) and there is no sweet dish called barfi in Iran.
  • 4. Claiming Brafi was 'introduced' from Persia reduces innovation and distinctness of brafi made in South Asia with Khoa which is unique to the region, and is not made in Iran.
  • 5. There is also no sweet dish called "Brafi" in Iran. This only means "barfi" emerged as generic name for khoa-based sweets during Mughal era in India rather than being introduced from Iran.

Do take note of these issues and problems with this page. 117.198.117.79 (talk) 10:55, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
