[edit] Spinach Pie

ok i dont know about you guys but where I live "spinach pie" at a mediterranean restaurant refers to something TOTALLY DIFFERENT from spanakopita (different and DELICIOUS) so maybe "spinach pie" should not be a redirect here

talking about these things:

they are always triangular shaped like that and have spinach in them and similar crust constituency but the mixture of seasonings can vary a fair amount. i think pine nuts as part of the filling is not uncommon.

[edit] Dill

Every recipe I've seen has Dill included, should we add dill to the article?

[edit] Official Recipe?

Is there such a thing as the offical recipe of how this is traditionally prepared? That would be a good addition to this article imho. (unsigned comment)

[edit] Response to all above

• There are many variants of spanakopita, and "spinach pie" may also refer to many different things (including spanakopita). So it is not surprising that some spanakopitas are different from some spinach pies. If there are other types of spinach pie that should be documented, let's document them.
• There are many variants of spanakopita. Dill is used in some, but not all. It can certainly be mentioned as an optional ingredient.
• There are many variants of spanakopita, and therefore many different recipes. We could not possibly document them all, and choosing one would be problematic. Anyway, since Wikipedia is not a cookbook (see WP:NOT), recipes are not allowed in articles. --Macrakis 13:25, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
