Salty mushrooms?
What are salty mushrooms? Does this mean salted mushrooms? What kind of mushrooms? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.233.0.24 (talk) 01:40, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

type
Isn't solyanka also a type of cold beetroot soup? // Liftarn
 * Nope. That's svekol'nik or cold borsch, depending on preparation method. There's other type of solyanka, though. Not soup, but a dish of stewed cabbage with meat, close to bigos. --Khathi 07:47, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Soljanka...
There should be a redirect from the German transcription of Soljanka to this page... Dreammaker182 (talk) 09:05, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

"It may have originated in Ukraine in the 17th century."\

Any reference? Any source? On the other hand there are plenty of references to Soljanka (or Selenka from selo - or hamlet, village) being an ancient Muscovite dish, both mentioned in cookbooks from the late 17 and 18 century and in Alexander Dahl's 19th century dictionary of common Russian language (never mind that Ukraine did not even exist in 17th century, not even in the sense of geographic concept). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.129.116.60 (talk) 16:26, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

In fact there is an 18th century street in Moscow called Solianka - http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rue_Solianka —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.129.116.60 (talk) 16:58, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

One More Meaning
There is a second course dish made of meat stewed with mix of sauerkraut and cabbage with spices which often called "Solyanka". Basically that is Russian / Ukrainian name for Bigos. Mecooking (talk) 04:33, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

In Georgia
I don't know if it's considered a Georgian dish or a Russian dish in Georgia but I ate it for the first time last night in a coastal village called Anaklia just south of the Abkhazia border. It seems to be spelled სოლიანკა. &mdash; Hippietrail (talk) 12:59, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

Country of origin and region
Looking at this talk page, and at the article itself, it appears that everything is based on contributor's conviction as to how accurate their speculation is (i.e., this is known as WP:OR). Does anyone have any reliable and verifiable sources as to the country of origin and, most particularly, the region of origin (Moscow!?)? Considering that there is now a citation for Ukraine as being the country of origin, it certainly makes Moscow as the region of origin highly dubious.

Eastern European cuisines didn't remain in one country. By the very nature of exchange of ideas, trade, etc. between Eastern Slavs, you don't make hard and fast rules up according to your own opinion if you haven't actually got a clue. Thank you for your attention, and for not adding content to an encyclopaedic resource as you make it up. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 00:08, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

This has got to be one of the worst citations on the origin of a meal i have ever seen. Basically all this author said was that the word Solyanka means salt and it "may" have originated in the Ukraine. Terrible. Waiting for it to be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.45.171.198 (talk) 21:10, 8 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, I think we have a good sense of how neutral your WP:POV is based on this edit. Read WP:SOAPBOX (and why you shouldn't treat an article talk page as one), plus stop making WP:POINTy edits. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 01:50, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
