Talk:Mashawi

Redirected edit

I have redirected this to Regional variations of barbecue#Middle East and Eastern Mediterranean. "Mashawi" is not a specific dish, but the general Arabic word for "barbecued" or "barbecue" (in the sense of barbecued food, not the cooking device or social gathering). We don't normally have articles about foreign-language equivalents to English words. For the subject, we should use English, Wikipedia is not a translation dictionary. Probably this should eventually redirect to the main barbecue article, but that article is presently heavily biased toward American barbecue. See also the discussion at Talk:Shish kebab#Proposed merge of Mashawi into Shish kebab. --IamNotU (talk) 15:16, 24 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
