[edit] Fajita

"Chinese fajitas (???? -- not to be confused with ??, which is fried)" Sounds to me like you're talking about bing (my character recognition no longer works) and I'm not sure calling them fajitas is appropriate - flatbread or pancakes with fillings seems to be more NPOV (fajitas is a very Tex-Mex term) to me.

[edit] Manchurian cuisine

Is Mandarin cuisine a mixture of local Peking cuisine and Manchurian cuisine? — Instantnood 02:12, May 30, 2005 (UTC)

They are two completely different things. They are no exact definition of what are "the" absolute examples of mandarin cuisine since Beijing in imperial times was the showcase for cooks from all over China, and the styles of their food varies. Still not sure what you are asking though. --67.2.149.172 08:44, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mandarin cuisine???

Never ever heard of it. Who named it? Should, IMO, be moved to Peking cusine. Mandarin can refer to an offical, or to Standard Chinese (Putonghua), or to the whole dialect group on which Standard Chinese is based (guanhua). But the capital cuisine cannot be referred to as Mandarin. What could be discussed is if a National cuisine, mixing freely dishes and influces from different regional schools, has emerged in big cities like Beijing, Shanghai etc, but this should then be called so, not "Mandarin". Especially since so much influence came from the so-called new Cantonese cuisine in the 1980-1990s. This new hybid should then be separated from a Peking cuisine, which until very recently included so very few of the things offered in Beijing today. Berox 23:18, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tanghulu

Shouldn't tanghulu be added in the list of prominent Beijing dishes? Badagnani 04:50, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fuling jiabing

Should Fuling jiabing be mentioned? Badagnani 04:44, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Classification of dishes

I feel very impelled to suggest the classification of the dishes listed in this page as they originate from different backgrounds, e.g., Ta Si Mi(它似蜜) and Bao Du are Muslim dishes(If i'm not wrong). This simple meat/veggie classification is not good enough considering the diversity of Beijing cuisine. Jing.t86 22:11, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
