Talk:National dish/Archive 2

Removing India from the list
I am proposing to remove India from this list as there is no dish that has been declared or deemed by authoritative sources as one. In fact, the entry "khichdi" was mooted as one but later the minister concerned clarified that there was no such announcement. The links were also provided to back this statement from the Minister.

 * As there has not been any more comments and without any reliable sources backing up a contender for national dish of India, I am removing the existing entries. If there are any contenders please bring it up to discussion before adding. rams81 (talk) 13:11, 16 September 2019 (UTC)


 * A government doesn't have to designate a dish as the "national dish" for it to be considered the national dish. Here's a source for Khichdi.

Dishes of Indian states
Since there are no national dishes for the country as a whole, should we list national dishes for the individual states? It has been done with several other countries. --Numberguy6 (talk) 04:36, 21 October 2019 (UTC)
 * There should not be an issue provided there is verifiable and reliable sources to that effect. As far as I know, very few states would have made such declarations. rams81 (talk) 18:29, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
