Talk:Covrigi

Merger with Simit
Covrigi and Simit are similar in that they are pretzel-like, but to me they are otherwise very different.

All the simits that I have seen (and eaten) in Turkey and Germany are large, sweet, bready circles coated with sesame; covrigi, however, that I have seen (and eaten) in Romania are a wide spectrum of products in many different sizes and shapes, with many different flavourings, both sweet and savoury - with consistency ranging from soft bread to very solid and hard.

In my opinion covrigi are sufficiently different to simit to make merging the articles unreasonable, and sufficiently culturally significant as a fairly ubiquitous part of Romanian cuisine to warrant their own article.
