I've removed some comments added recently. Someone who knows what language they are in could, if they are a worthwhile addition to the article, edit them back without repeating the disturbance to the article's formatting that occurred the first time. Britmax 19:46, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Comparison to injera

The article compares laxoox to injera, but then goes into more detail, after which it doesn't sound similar to injera at all (unless "round flatbreads from East Africa" equals "similar"). Could this just as easily be compared (or even better compared) to, say, pita (i.e. round, wheat flatbread)? -- Gyrofrog (talk) 20:59, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

I've restored the tag. The text, as written, could describe a tortilla, pita, flapjack, etc. What actually makes it similar to injera? I would expect to see a statement such as "both have a sour taste" and/or "both have a porous texture" and/or "both use a starter", etc., preferably from a verfiable source rather than based upon personal experience. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 22:17, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Acually you probably know more about this than me, I never tried Somalian Laxoox/Injera. The Ethiopian and Yemeni Injersa I tried are exactly the same (very thin). Yemenis call it Laxoox, while Ethiopians call it Injera. Do you know any place I can find Somalian Laxoox/canjeera in the USA?

I never saw the thicker laxoox your describing so maybe yu should seperate them to 2 groups? the thinner bread(Injera/Laxoox) and the thicker bread (the Somalian canjeera) << I never tried that so I am not sure how different it is.Skatewalk 03:22, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

OK, thanks, based on what you'd written I already suspected there were different kinds of Laxoox (e.g. Somali and Yemeni). As the Yemeni spelling also "laxoox" or is it "lahoh"? Thanks again, -- Gyrofrog (talk) 13:36, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

I actually wanted to use the word Lahoh, but then I didn't want to add confusion, so I simply added to the existing Laxoox. Is the X pronounced as a light (H)? Let me know I will change it. Skatewalk 14:50, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

According to the article: "pronounced 'laa-hōh' in Somali". Based on this and other readings, I believe the "x" is an "h" sound in Somali. We should really stick to the most common English spelling, but sometimes there isn't one. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 15:02, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Ok man I will leave the article alone, I really prefer that the whole thing gets put in one article. and then just seperate it into Ethiopian/Eritrean, Somali and Yemeni. -- Skatewalk 04:54, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Lachooh can also be found in israel, having been imported by Yemeni Jews. it is rather common in areas which they are concentrated in. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.64.228.215 (talk) 14:55, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
