Speaking Arabic does not make something Middle Eastern. Somalia is in sub-saharan African and any cultural similaries with the Middle East has no bearing on Geography. Only the Sinai part of Egypt is in the Middle East. North African cuisine is North African cuisine, not Middle Eastern cuisine. Arab cuisine stretches from Mauritania to Oman. This Area is does not constitute the Middle East, it constitutes the [[Arab World]]. It don't give a damn about the Bush administration's definition of things nor Pan-Arab pseudo-geography. If you look at a map you can clearly see the Middle East demarcated from Europe, Asia and Africa by the Black Sea, Caucasus Mountains, Caspian Sea, Iranian Plateau, Persian Gulf, Gulf of Oman, Arabian Sea, Gulf of Aden, Red Sea, Sinai Peninsula, Mediterranean Sea and Aegean Sea. It is almost an island and has more claim to being a seperate continent than Europe or the Indian subcontinent. The Middle East is from the Greek islands in the Aegean to central Iran and from Georgia to the Sinai to Yemen.

"Kosher" as a category is completely orthogonal to "Middle Eastern". Kosher (like Halal or Vegan or Christian-fasting) is a cultural/religious category, not a regional one. There is Kosher Polish, Kosher Sephardic, Kosher Indian, etc. So the 'Kosher' category doesn't belong here. Israeli cooking, on the other hand, probably does.--Macrakis 04:32, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Please explain to me (no Native English speaker) what "Middle Eastern" means. The Wikipedia entry on "Middle East" say it is the region from the Eastern Mediterranean to the Persian Gulf. If so, what does Ethiopic or Moroccan cooking have to do with Middle-Eastern cuisine?
The Middle East is North Africa (Morroco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt) and Southwest Asia (Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Israel, Jordan, Cyprus, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Yemen, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Iraq, Iran, Kuwait). Ethiopia does not belong in this category, it is African cuisine. --S.M. 9 July 2005 05:54 (UTC)
- According to my understanding, the Middle East as a geographical term does not include Morocco and probably neither Algeria nor Tunisia. Whether the cooking style resembles that of the Middle East is a completely different question. The article is not very precise in this respect.--193.196.193.21 16:29, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Middle East
Speaking Arabic does not make something Middle Eastern. Somalia is in sub-saharan African and any cultural similaries with the Middle East has no bearing on Geography. Only the Sinai part of Egypt is in the Middle East. North African cuisine is North African cuisine, not Middle Eastern cuisine. Arab cuisine stretches from Mauritania to Oman. This Area is does not constitute the Middle East, it constitutes the Arab World. It don't give a damn about the Bush administration's definition of things nor Pan-Arab pseudo-geography.
