Etymology

[edit]

yerubal 22:27, 25 May 2008 (UTC) It would be nice to see it written in Arabic. The name looks as though it might mean "liberating", as in the soup with which we're liberated from the fast (or it could mean "hot", or it could be a pun that incorporates both). If someone knows, it would be worth an edit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yerubal (talkcontribs) 22:27, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • I removed the etymology section entirely because it was mostly speculation. I'm of the opinion that حريرة is a diminutive form of حار spicy, but this isn't the place for original research, so I thought the fair thing was take the section out. Peripatesy (talk) 01:45, 17 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Someone told me once that ‘harir’ is silk in Arabic, so it’s like ‘silky soup’ or something like that. Can anyone confirm that?

Unfinished sentence

[edit]

traditional honey sweets (called and other goodies (special bread or crepes) prepared at home.

What are the traditional honey sweets called? Also, the sentence would flow if you removed the jargon "goodies" and wrote it like this:

traditional honey sweets called whatever_should_go_here and other home-made special breads or crepes.

Regions where Harira is prepared.

[edit]

Can't we be a little bit more precise and say harira exists in the Algerian west and not all of Algeria.[1] Simoooix.haddi (talk) 01:55, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also i've checked the sources and they don't say the opposite, they are talking about the harira of Tlemcen which is a city of the Algerian west. Simoooix.haddi (talk) 02:09, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Read another source and stop wasting our time with your POV pushing. M.Bitton (talk) 12:59, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
