How can Turks possibly have used maize in the 10th century? This is simply impossible. 76.16.119.205 (talk) 03:03, 25 July 2010 (UTC) Boza is traditionally made with wheat and millet, obviously making it with maize is a newer invention. 93.155.254.34 (talk) 17:27, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Regardless of the qualities of the drink, the article could probably stand a little trimming for impartiality.

One of the worst drinks of all-time.

I disagree, it's just an acquired taste! Dan Carkner 04:21, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's a simple and fulfilling drink. I don't know why you found it disgusting.--Paffka 17:06, 15 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I used to love it when I was a kid. Then 10 years later when I re-tasted it for the first time, it was some of the grossest shit I could imagine.---Anonymous

There's like three different types of Boza. I was given the non-alcoholic but sweet Boza (thanks to my muslim friends in Sarajevo). It was delicious. The article needs to make it clearer that there's different types of Boza as well as the picture needs to be changed. Why not use this picture: http://www.atamanhotel.com/kitchen/boza1.jpg ---BerpStar


I took out the beer bit. It has hardly anything to do with the beverage called beer. Only common thing is fermented wheat/barely, but taste is so different. Its like calling whiskey, type of water, because majority of content is water. --85.130.70.44 12:56, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Little bit of "Original Research" here: pls see  beuzą  It may just be that this drink is part of the common cultural heritage of humankind. AverageTurkishJoe (talk) 01:39, 20 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Recipe[edit]

I just added a recipe for boza. It looks a little strange, I guess I am not too versed in Wikipedia editing. Can somebody make it look better? The recipe is working, I used it several times... Adrian Boldan - Toronto

Although good information (as long as it's not copyrighted), recipes belong at the Wikibooks Cookbook. - TheMightyQuill 13:50, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why do the articles about breast enlarging beer mention Bohza (with H) as a miraculous Lager Beer? Ar you sure it is the same as the one we're talking about in this article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.129.194.153 (talk) 13:55, 5 December 2010 (UTC) It's an urban legend, at least here in Bulgaria. The anecdote has it that drinking boza would make one's breasts bigger.[reply]

Article needs to be systematised[edit]

There is plenty opf repetitive statements,a dn sometimes the same topic is addressed twice from a contradictory point of view, so both standing in the same article cannot be valid, unless introduced with "some think" and quoting who, and then "the others" and again giving sources.

The article desperatelu needs wikification.

Otherwise, the drink is such as it is, nothing to write home about,m bur certainly not "the worst drink ever". So kindly, let's not get into silly chitchat, but work on attaing a genuine encyclopaedia level. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.245.0.84 (talk) 23:14, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Difference between Boza and Millet Ale[edit]

Until today I was sure that the English for boza was Millet Ale, it is the way it's translated on the tags of Bulgarian boza and it is the way it's sold in the UK. Correct me if I'm wrong, or add it in the article to make it clearer please.

Why only Turkish cuisine?[edit]

Boza comes with different types and varieties. Why did you put it under the Turkish cuisine? Then we should make separate pages for all bozas produced with different ingredients, recipes and in different countries. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Edvini (talkcontribs) 22:50, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Is this some kind of a joke?[edit]

"and also Poland and Lithuania. (Although not as often in the last two countries") - as a Pole living in Poland my entire life I can only say - nonsense, if it wasn't for Wikipedia I would never know of such a drink, so how can anyone talk of "popularity" (even modest)?

+1. I'm a Polack too, I've tried quite a lot of drinks, and it's the first time I heard of "boza". According to polish Wikipedia, it has seen some popularity before World War 2 in a small border town (Białystok's population exploded only quite recently). --KiloByte (talk) 11:48, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Bragă[edit]

Clicking "Bragă" in the "similar beverages" section just redirects back to Boza. Why even have it down there if it's just the same drink? It seems to me one of three things needs to happen. Bragă needs its own page, the article needs to mention that Boza is also called Bragă, or Bragă needs to be removed from "similar beverages." 71.41.160.139 (talk) 07:24, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
