Talk:List of delicacies
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ok this is ibt. no clue how this will be published, and if to whom...by accident? in any case, i demand compensation for any use of IP
This a a pretty questionable subject to my mind. Delicacies by whose definition? I can see mysterious omissions and errors, but I am loath to edit it because it requires much research that doesn't seem to have been done, which I'm not willing to do for this. Will someone out there/up there/behind the curtain/wherever please take a look at this, especially if you are disseminating it in other internet places like lockergnome? Puh-leaze??? This thing needs help or euthanasia.

- I think there is plenty of information out there. See this search. --Alterego 21:00, Apr 9, 2005 (UTC)

- I know there's plenty of information. But if the person who started the article doesn't use it, and just throws out a list (I keep finding Wiki lists like this - it's as if some people do it as a pastime), then what should be done? It's somewhat like people abandoning pets. God knows there's enough misinformation on the internet. Oh, well. Thanks for caring. I have no room in my head for this poor animal, so it will have to wait for someone else to adopt it.

- don't worry, it's only a matter of time before a doctor of delicatology comes along and straightens it out --Alterego 23:16, Apr 9, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Chinese and insects
A new user edited this into the page:
"I would like to see something added here about crickets and invertebrates that Chinese love but which we nomrally don't eat in America. Thanks. Jim-50."
- Some might like it, but I doubt the majority of Chinese actually prefer such things. Shawnc 21:33, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

- what about eating dog? I've heard that gul should be the best one in taste.
[edit] Indian Delicacies
There are a list of Indian delicacies. Each state in India has its own seperate and distinct lists of snacks, sweets and special dishes depending on the occasion and season. Naming a few would not do justice to all of them. A more comprehensive list would be appreciated. Surabhi.
[edit] Placenta
Some people see the human placenta as a delicacy. JedOs

[edit] French delicacies
I remove pâté and snails from the French list. These items may seem odd or fancy to most foreigners, but they are extremely commonplace in France and therefore not delicacies in the usual sense of being highly prized and rare locally.
[edit] US Delicacies
Should Philly Cheesesteak and Fenway Franks be added? They are at least well-known delicacies in New England and the Mid-Atlantic. - MSTCrow 05:16, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
- I don't think so. They're not really considered delicacies as far as I know. It's just a sandwhich and a hotdog. I would include squirrel brains which, as I've heard, is considered a delicacy in some parts of the south. I'd also add rocky mountain oysters. Cereal Box Conspiracy 02:29, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
What is a delicacy? By whose definition are these things delicacies? Should we just go with the most expensive food items in a country? It seems like beluga caviar ought to be on there, right? I just don't see how this is notable at all.Vandymorgan 17:55, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Italian Delicacies
Benio76, I undid your changes. What you listed are notable Italian food items, but they are not a delicacy per WP's definition (see the first section of the article). This is not to say that the original list was correct; for example, I doubt that chestnuts really belong to the list. Alex Pankratov 22:46, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Islandic & Greenlandic Delicacies
Someone with more knowledge than me should write something about the islandic & greenlandic delicacies, like dried shark, rotten fish and black death vodka, fresh seal eye and such.. there is plenty of intresseting meals. and what about whale? Both norweigan and japanese could fill us in..
