Talk:Bryndza
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I don't agree. It should be named aither in Romanian, or in German, or other traditional language, closer to English. Waelsch 17:25, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
- Agreed. There's no such word in English (www.m-w.com). Dpotop 18:48, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
- This is not exactly true. The English-speaking websites like www.cheese.com or www.epicurious.com use the word bryndza. Google Scholar returns twice as much references to bryndza than to branza. And by the way, the word "bryndza" is not just a Slovak one, but it is used in the Slovak, Polish, and Czech languages. Tankred 20:04, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
- Indeed, my move was a bit rush. Maybe the true solution is to have 2 articles. One for the Romanian stuff, one for the Slovak one. Anyway, Branza means "cheese" in Romanian, there is no special type of cheese associated with it. Then, you have "Branza proaspata" (fresh cheese), Urda, Telemea, "Branza de burduf", etc. Dpotop 11:39, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Why is this article weighted so heavily toward Romania? According to a cheese.com article on bryndza, it is a Slovak cheese. — Chris Capoccia T⁄C 13:06, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
- Because the Slovak "bryndza" originates from the Romanian brânzā (and I mean both - product and name - here). "Brânzā" is a Romanian trademark (protected designation of origin). Mentatus 13:32, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
- Could you, please, point me to an offical document stating that? --62.168.125.217 23:19, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
