Oxford junk

Does all that Oxford junk in this entry really belong in a professionally written Wikipedia article? Seems like it would only matter to Oxfordians, not the world at large. 24.58.171.240 21:06, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Use in China

No content about its existence in China?--128.252.173.70 20:43, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Naan on the table?

"These restaurants have typically provided a basket of bread at the table in the same manner that European restaurants set out a basket of rolls."

In twenty years of eating curry all over the UK, I've never been in a restaurant that provided naan for the table in the way European restaurants provide bread. It is always a side dish to be ordered specifically. Some restaurants will suggest it, but no more often than they suggest, for example, rice. I think this sentence should be removed, therefore.

Origin section

needs to be fleshed out, instead of

The word and bread later spread to South Asia into India and the surrounding regions. Much more recently it has spread to the UK, owing to the popularity of Indian cuisine in Britain.

the weasel phrases were replaced with actual dates --Tehw1k1 (talk) 07:47, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Variant of Roti?

Is it appropriate to describe naan as a variant of roti given that roti is described as bread with a South Asian origin while naan is described in the article as having a separate Central Asian origin? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.159.81.16 (talk) 18:50, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cooking of Naan

I've heard that Naan is often cooked stuck to the side of the oven rather than laying flat. Can anyone corroborate and add this to the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.132.178.208 (talk) 23:11, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Naanwiches"

Are "naanwiches" worth mentioning in this article? Kylelovesyou (talk) 03:13, 8 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

England

Should this be changed to United Kingdom? - I know that they are as popular here in Wales as they are in England. Can't speak for Scotland and Northern Ireland though.82.0.73.145 (talk) 19:55, 3 December 2009 (UTC)Iago[reply]

Good suggestion, duly changed. Geoff B (talk) 20:04, 3 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Peshwari naan in Indian resturants in England contain neither nuts nor raisins. Instead they contain shredded coconut. Also there's a variant called Keema naan, which contains slices of lamb. 89.242.241.49 (talk) 00:37, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
