Info Box: Calories "per serving" edit

Denoting calories of food "per serving" is an insult to everyone with an intellect. For obvious reasons. I don't know how to change the info box, so please anyone who knows should do.

Should be referred to as South Asia edit

Indian subcontinent is an obsolete term and there are other countries in the region. 99.247.148.255 (talk) 17:03, 17 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

The article refers not to the Indian subcontinent per se, but to another Wikipedia article named Sweets from the Indian subcontinent. The term is not obsolete - the article Indian subcontinent explains why it is not synonymous with South Asia. - Ram1751 (talk) 22:34, 17 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Barfi made with Khoa edit

Hello, sirs. I want to point out few important things for parties concerned.

  • 1. Brafi is made from Khoa in South Asia. In Iran similar dish is made from almond flour, it's not called barfi there.
  • 2. Here is Iranian Shekarbura and Tabrizi Lovuez, these resemble barfi and are made from almond flour but are not called barfi.
  • 3. You can also look at the list "Category:Iranian_desserts" here, NONE of the sweets here are made with khoa (condensed milk) and there is no sweet dish called barfi in Iran.
  • 4. Claiming Brafi was 'introduced' from Persia reduces innovation and distinctness of brafi made in South Asia with Khoa which is unique to the region, and is not made in Iran.
  • 5. There is also no sweet dish called "Brafi" in Iran. This only means "barfi" emerged as generic name for khoa-based sweets during Mughal era in India rather than being introduced from Iran.

Do take note of these issues and problems with this page. 117.198.117.79 (talk) 10:55, 5 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
