Jewish/Israeli Terms[edit]

Recently there has been a difference of opinion among editors on this article, Lentil soup, with some editors removing Jewish/Israeli reference & categories and other editors adding them back in. There is currently a RfC on the TALK page belonging to Hummus that seeks to resolve a similar situation that occurred there. An edit war broke out there a few days ago over the inclusion of Jewish and Israeli terms and categories. The opinions and input of editors from this article would be greately appreciated on the Hummus RfC. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Hummus#RfC

Thanks! -- Nsaum75 (talk) 06:35, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What a great solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict. Hijack food and hold humus/za'atar/felafel/lentil soup hostage. I would laugh if it wasn't so sad--Gilabrand (talk) 06:46, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, it is very sad. This is off topic, but when people fight and argue over who gets credited as to having contributed to mashed chickpeas, it really does make evident how dire the situation is in the Middle East and how far from peace we really are. -- Nsaum75 (talk) 06:53, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

because of a few morons. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.225.198.169 (talk) 02:59, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lentil soup is pretty popular in Scotland too. You have been warned! -- Derek Ross | Talk 03:29, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And the Assyrians aren't Arab or Jew and they are also being neglected and having thier identity taken such as in food. That's why I prefer "Middle Eastern" food...NOT Arab food.Schnitzel MannGreek. 00:49, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

i added a video link : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-rdzqajwus

what is more apropriate then a video link on how to make this food ?

In Europe[edit]

Lentil soup is also very popular in Europe. In Germany, for instance, where I am, lentil soup is a staple soup that is very common. We're using brown lentils (as can be seen in the German article). It is usually served with vinegar and sausages. I just had a microwave version that came with vinegar, sausages and Swabian type noodles (Spaetzle = "little sparrows"). Very, very good :) - In Italy, it is extremely popular when it is thick and the broth is brown. Usually thicker then most soups. Yum. :D

Bible As History?[edit]

Why is the mention of Lentil Soup in the Bible under the history section?

It has been changed to History and Literature. Dolphincradle (talk) 16:42, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Damn that history is Aggy[edit]

Not much more to say other than this is obviously a serious dish from Antiquity, for a soup that serves it’s purpose maybe some additional academic expansion would help?
