Talk:Caliente (dish)

Cultural appropriation
this dish is 100 percent Algerian Called Karantika or Caliente Plwnt (talk) 22:41, 21 August 2023 (UTC)


 * It is commonly consumed in both northern Morocco and Algeria. Reliable sources are needed to establish its origins. Mooonswimmer 17:11, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
 * It's not used in Morocco you can check they only knew about it in 2019 and still don't know how to make it properly, there's no debate about it, it's Algerian street food Plwnt (talk) 00:37, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

Caliente, karantika, calentita
Plwnt, Valereee,

Calentita, karantika, caliente, garantita, karantita, karane, kalantita, quaratita, kalentica, karentita, karan, valentina, el hami... they all appear to be different names for what is practically the same dish. There doesn't seem to be a need for two separate pages, especially Caliente (dish) and Karantika.

I've been meaning to move Caliente (dish) to another name, as caliente doesn't seem to be the most widely used term for the dish and is only widely used in parts of Morocco (where "Karantika" is also used). I just wasn't sure whether to move the page to "Karantika", "Calentita", "Garantita", etc... Mooonswimmer 16:16, 25 August 2023 (UTC)


 * Hey, Mooonswimmer. The dishes do appear to have different histories, recipes, and ingredients. They're similar for sure, but I'm not sure they should be merged. Valereee (talk) 16:21, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I will have to dive deeper, but it seems as if the dish has Spanish origins. The ingredients/recipes also appear to be the same, it's a savory pie with a chickpea flour-base, with oil, eggs, and basic spices typically used. Mooonswimmer 16:30, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
 * The dish probably originally has Genoese origins w/re Farinata. There are similar dishes in India. Cuisine and colonization is complicated. :D Valereee (talk) 16:31, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I have already added the sources while there's not a single original old moroccan source Plwnt (talk) 00:52, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
