kurdistan topic
kuridstan is a ancient name for a geographical area. therefore "people of kurdistan" is not a valid term. it makes it look like kurdistan is a country which would create misunderstanding and anger with turkey or its citizens or any other country that suffers from terroristic fight of socalled freedom by the kurdish terrorists (or guerilla as they call themselves) PKK http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PKK there for i'm changing the article as "people of kurdish origin in turkey, iran, iraq or anywhere in the world and kurds from iraqi kurdistan the autonomous republic.

please note that this is for political correctness not for any hostile means.

=
=========== and why would you think it has to be based on political borders. England is not a country but you would not go to the english food page and change the phrase 'people of england' to 'people of the united kingdom of great Britain and northern island'

people of kurdistan consider their land to be kurdistan, political correctness is contextual correctness. an article on kurdish food will state Diyarbekir as the capital of Kurdistan, an article on Turkish citizenship will state diyarbekir as a city in south-eastern turkey. no one wrote on the article 'enjoyed by the citizens of the free, independent, internationally recognized republic of Kurdistan, it says Kurdistan, which could mean the name of a place that is not necessarily an independent state, its a place, and it talks about the food of that particular place.

people of Kurdistan is how it stays, I could give a much more compelling argument while also not committing the grammar-crimes i have just now, but im typing on a mobile not built for this job

Wow, thats not a generalization
"Kurds often like pepper and onions with their food", maybe its true but still....

23:39, 18 February 2007 (UTC) The following below were comments that were, unfortunately, placed in the main article. Please, if you have any comments, place them in the discussion page.

kurds from other regions might have different names for the same dishes (biryani) so i wouldn't be too fast with correcting unless you are really sure. other dishes i know are yaprax, chichma, mehir, tefti, niskene, nane niskan. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.104.230.215 (talk • contribs) 23:41, 18 February 2007
 * it is not biryani, it is called "parêv", and instead of plaw it should be "birinç" ! other than those; melemen, ûr û rûvî, and mehîr are some other famous kurdish meals that i remember of.
 * birinc is just the name for rice, pelaw is the dish.

Moved from article
The following was added to the article in May 2009, without attribution. If it's true, it needs to cite a source. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 04:04, 25 November 2009 (UTC) "One popular dish worth mentioning has been passed down through countless generations of Kurds and is widely regarded as a Kurdish delicacy. Affectionately nicknamed a 'kurdish chicken' (although more the size of a Cornish game hen), it is a de-feathered seagull, prepared, lightly pan seared, and smothered with a rich, date based demi-glace. When many families gather together to consume multiple kurdish chickens, it is often referred to as a 'Kurdish Thanksgiving', although this Holiday is not officially recognized. A full grown male can consume approximately three Kurdish chickens in the course of a normal meal."

Bread and pasta
Is there a reason why the remark "In Kurdistan, bread can be found in various forms. Their ingredients differ as well as their shapes, densities, and textures." is not in the section about bread, but in the Pilav/Pasta section? Maribert (talk) 17:58, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
