Talk:Licitar

Geographical imbalance
I think licitar (from Croatia) and lectovo srce (from Slovenia) are the same, perhaps the same gift has been also known elsewhere. The article should account for this. --Eleassar my talk 21:49, 15 December 2011 (UTC) There is "licidersko srce" made by "licider" shops in Serbia. I think they originate from Austria. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.148.110.64 (talk) 14:12, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

Word Licitar originates from the German word Lebzelter, but derives from Latin word Libum, which means sacrificial cookie. Licitar craft is old about 4000 years, and the biggest workshops for producing these biscuits were in Egipt. Romans brought it to Europe, but the greatest growth of this craft was in the ages of Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. A large number of licitar makers, "medokolačar", were in this business, which requests a lot of artistry, time and devotion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.12.106.212 (talk) 09:11, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

I have marked the article as POV as it is 'within the scope of WikiProject Croatia' which, I take it, credits it to the people of Croatia. I haven't checked the talk page before i marked it as such, so when I got here to leave a comment, I found out there were others share my opinion. I agree with it's origins from Egypt, yet it was brought to Balkans from Austria (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lebzelter) - it clearly existed there before, even if you take into account the disputed article and it's dates. It indeed exists in my country (Serbia) as well, but I believe it is not ours, nor Croatian.--T3h20r

Same thing is also common in Hungary, although there is no trace of this fact on Wikipedia (or elsewhere in the Internet, to be honest). Just google this: "tükrös szív" (plural "tükrös szívek") and you will see many pictures and articles about gingerbread (mézeskalács) hearts with a small mirror. The problem is that those are in Hungarian, a language so hard to grasp or compare to anything. Dnaoro (talk) 03:05, 27 June 2018 (UTC)

Hearts with mirrors across the region, a quick google search: Hungarian: tükrös szív (plural tükrös szívek), Slovenian: lect / lectovo srce / srce z ogledalom, Croatian: licitar / licitarsko srce, Serbian: licider / licidersko srce. Hope it will help an eager editor. Dnaoro (talk) 03:14, 27 June 2018 (UTC)
