Talk:Belarusian cuisine

Kalduny
would it be possible for someone to find a picture of kalduny for the article? I've searched and can't find one. Thanks for any help. Nashville Monkey 14:56, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I'm a Belarusian living in UK and can help with this page if you are interested. Although, I agree with many things in the article, the general idea that Belarusians have lost the identity or quisine is completely odd. Have you ever been in Belarusian villages in Slutsk region, Western Belarus or Palesse? The spirit of real Belarus is there and it is stronger than, say, similar spirit in Ukraine or Russia. You should agree that the richness of the folklore culture is related to cuisine. There are more authentic songs have been collected in 60-90th in Belarus than in Russia. The simplest was to understand the richness of cuisine is just to visit Caravay bread shop on Victory square in Minsk. Last time, I counted 32 kinds of VERY good quality rye bread and 28 kinds of wheat bread there. This is aginst 5 kinds of all breads in Kiev or 10 kinds in Moscow. The variety of dry sousages is huge. I counted about 500 kinds in Komarovka bazar visiting it this winter. Belarus controls 60% of all the fish preserve market in the Eastern Europe (Belryba, Santa Bremor ect). I will continue at some point...

Concerns about validity and verifiability
The article was created three years ago, on 1 January 2006, by User:Alies' Biely, who did not provide any sources for the content, although it looked like a straightforward cut and paste job. The content remained essentially unchanged over time, except for wikifying the format, adding pix, and making some substantive changes very recently. When I started reading through the article, I came across terms that could not be verified (e.g., poliuka, kamy, pauguski). On the other hand, I did not see in the article names of standard Belarusian dishes that are listed on any Belarusian cooking web site (in English or Russian). This leads me to suspect the validity of the entire article. Any comments or suggestions on what to do? Should we try to patch up the existing version, or simply jettison it and start from scratch? --Zlerman (talk) 04:14, 4 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I think this article is translation on English of same article in printed "Encyclopedia of Grand Duchy of Lithuania" ("Энцыклапедыя ВКЛ") printed by "Belarusian encyclopedia" (official, existing for long time) publisher in 2005 by same author. I don't see any reason to not believe in authorship, since he also Chrotoem many related articles in Belarusian Wikipedia.
 * If sources is concern, I could add them from "Энцыклапедыя ВКЛ".

 * Yes, please do add sources to Belarusian cuisine as needed. Also please provide a link to the "Encyclopedia of Grand Duchy of Lithuania" if it exists on line. Many thanks for your help! --Zlerman (talk) 01:32, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
 * ✅. Sorry, on-line version is not available. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 15:18, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
 * This is great. Much appreciated. Hope you won't mind if I come back to you for more help with specific terms. --Zlerman (talk) 15:39, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
