Potato Momos

It's worth noting that "potato momo" (zhog khog mog mog) carries two different senses. In Tibetan exile communities, a "potato momo" has come to denote a potato filling encased in a flour-based dough. In Tibet itself, on the other hand, a "potato momo" has a meat filling (usually minced yak meat) encased in a mashed potato ball. That mashed potato ball is then fried in oil. Given that the article only mentions the former, it is apparent that the author of this entry has little knowledge of genuine Tibetan cuisine within Tibet. 72.94.184.4 05:58, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Momos vs Potstickers: moved:

A common question that is asked is "what is the difference between a potsticker and a momo?" An authentic momo is actually shaped in a circle and is quite spicy and juicy. A potsticker on the other hand is shaped more like a wedge and is not as spicy. However - over time many restaurants have made the difference less and less noticeable by making momos less spicy or changing the shape to be more wedge - especially outside of Nepal. These "momos" are best called "momostickers" as they are not really the authentic form of momos.

This text was added by User:66.129.225.151. I am moving this here because it is unreferenced, and I have some doubts about it. While I'm not an expeert, I've had momos prepared by Tibetans at several restaurants in Lhasa, which were all folded in the semi-circular manner. Perhaps Nepalese momos are different. The "momostickers" comment is probably unencyclopedic. Dforest (talk) 05:44, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

No need for momocha

momo-cha is a newar slang for momo the term used by all nepalese is momo please do not put this to confuse people —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.186.173.26 (talk) 11:24, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Emotionalism and factual errors

This article seems to have been marred by unreferenced statements, emotionalism and factual errors. It is not true that "Momo is a type of dumpling native to the Nepali part of the Himalayas and to Tibet." Momos have been around in the Kathmandu Valley for centuries. They are made in wedge shape with pleated edge, round shape with three or four "fins", semi-circular shape, flat and half-moon shape with crimped edge, and the shapes shown in the article. Besides minced buffalo meat, other popular fillings are milk solids and mashed potatoes.

Also, the statement "momos are one of the most popular fast food in Nepal and many other South Asian region populated with people of Nepali origin" seems to suggest that momos begin and end with Nepalese. Momos have a very wide geographical base, and are known by different names in different places. As one example, check out the Georgian khinkali, very close to the "dumpling native to Nepal". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.166.212.161 (talk) 11:55, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

Word Origin

One additional item that might be worth emphasizing is that the word "momo" (mog mog) is actually a borrow from Chinese, and not a native Tibetan term. 72.94.184.4 05:58, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Citation? Coz that appears to be pure BS on your part. --122.167.5.226 17:11, 11 November 2007 (UTC)DGMP

The Tibetan word "momo" really is a borrow from Chinese. [Source: བོད་རྒྱ་ཚིག་མཛོད་ཆེན་མོ། (Wylie: bod rgya tshig mdzod chen mo) page 2122.] Of course, given your ignorant comment, it's doubtful that you can actually read Tibetan, but this dictionary (the བོད་རྒྱ་ཚིག་མཛོད་ཆེན་མོ་) is obviously the most authoritative source out there.--Chosgrags (talk) 22:16, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Not BS at all. The word "momo" is spread all over China, even here in Xinjiang where it is used in Uyghur and Kazakh languages to describe steamed bread without fillng (mantou). Local Han and Hui people use momo and mantou as interchangeable synonyms. --124.119.125.47 (talk) 17:40, 14 July 2016 (UTC)

LOL you guys are making me laugh with your made up "citations/sources". First of all, you cant expect a Tibetan dictionary/ dictionary app to contain the word momo in it, Tibetan dictionaries are different from western ones so dont expect to find slangs in it or foods and menu items there lol especially when you're using one which is for formal terms and not just a casual one. And to the "not bs at all" person, East Turkestan which you Chinese like to call "Xinjiang" people- the Uyghurs speak their native language not Chinese, so when they say momo its their language not Chinese (but them using the word momo for dumplings? I have a very strong feeling you're making it up since they speak a Turkic language and it just seems like it doesnt fit but it could be possible since they border with Tibet and other Asian countries. lol I'll make sure to ask my Uyghur friend to confirm your statements. Even in your statements you're saying 2 different things- its used in Uyghur and Kazakh languages and that local han and hui people use it? chinese ppl and uyghurs speak different languages but since you said "here in Xinjiang" im just gonna guess you mean the Han Chinese people who moved to East Turkestan are using their language since they're on their land.) But yea a lot of different languages have the same words and most of the time its with different meanings, like the word susu in Indian means piss and in Indonesian it means milk lol do you think indonesia "borrowed" the word from India? hahah yea i didnt think so. Soo your claim about Tibetans borrowing it from the Chinese is invalid since its only your assumption with no facts to base it on. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dlc26 (talk • contribs) 00:26, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

Momo is Native to Nepal (Kathmandu) and not of Tibetian origin

Momo is derived from the Newari word "Mamacha" corrupted into the Nepali language as "Mama" and corrupted in the English language as "Momo". Also, MoMo is not native to Tibet, Momo is completely made in Kathmandu valley by the Newari traders who made Momo famous back to Tibet also. However, the concept of dumpling comes from Tibet, not the MoMo. Taking the real world example "Apple" and "Samsung" are both the brands of the Mobile phone that come from the USA and Korea respectively. But the "mobile" was invented at "Bell Labs in New Jersey". So we can't say Samsung is native to New Jersey. Similar, Momo is native to Nepal. ~~

No we use 'mo' word in food. It's a loan word from China. Example 'tingmo'. It's a tibetan steamed bun. It's a Tibetan dish that is passed to nepali. If you don't believe me check any dictionary or website or even google about momo.

You will get your answer.  Ngatashi700 (talk) 06:07, 4 July 2018 (UTC)

When I googled "momo," it said it was an "Indian dish" but it is actually a Nepalese dish and it is absolutely offensive and incorrect to call it Indian. I am an Indian myself but I have done several years of research on momo and it is a 100% Nepali/Nepalese dish. 2605:A601:A200:1F1F:99FC:364C:D14D:4A61 (talk) 20:51, 13 December 2018 (UTC)

Momo especially is orginated from Nepal. It is very unsceintific and wrong to destroy the authenticity of the food where it belongs to. Food describes lifestyle, and overall cutlure of the people living in specific areas. Hence, it is not okay to say that momo was from India, it belongs to Nepal. And, only Nepalese can have the right to claim this originality of this food. Respect the people, respect the food. Please only provide real information, any unreal information could risky.

Momo

Momo is not a Indian dish. It is influenced by Tibet but it’s origin is from Nepal. How come it was shows Indian Dish? Dangolmuskan (talk) 02:49, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 7 August 2019

PLEASE change this line: "However, after arriving in India, the momo was made vegetarian in the modern era to feed the large population of vegetarian Hindus"

This line is quite incorrect. In Tibet, momos made with potatoes and cheese are prevalent. In India, pork, chicken and vegetarian momos are mostly consumed, while in some parts of the country, beef momos are also available. Momos were not made vegetarian for Hindus - vegetarian momos are in existence in many parts of Bengal and Sikkim, and ingredients like squash and spring onions are often used in the mountains, apart from potato, to fill momos, especially when these vegetables are in season.

Sorry messed up my dates. All such a reversion would do be adding back "However, after arriving in India, the momo was made vegetarian in the modern era to feed the large population of vegetarian Hindus." which was contested in the edit request above. The source seems to be https://www.themomoking.com/interesting-facts-about-momos/ which doesn't seem to qualify as a reliable source. I don't think anything should be done here, but will leave this request open for now. --Trialpears (talk) 12:14, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

I understood the request above to be about reinstating this edit, that is, saying they are similar to dumplings, but are native to Nepal/Tibet/Bhutan. It was sourced at the time to a food blog, and this request is about adding a source to a recipe book. That is maybe about as reliable as our current source for the introduction which is a tourist book. Finding some scholarly sources would be ideal. – Thjarkur (talk) 12:45, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

Please do not state that momo is an Indian dish when it was created in the Nepal/Tibet region and this fact WAS added in your momo Wikipedia page so it is confusing as to why you would overall label this dish as "Indian" when it was clearly not made in India and is more popular in Nepal. You are completely disregarding the origin of this dish and mislabelling it which is highly offensive. Momo is Nepal's traditional dish and is well associated with that nation, not India.

Momo is written as an Indian style food. It might be considered as Indian food but actually it is the Nepalese who consume momo's the most.

Please change the image description from indian style momo from Kathmandu valley to nepalese style momo from Kathmandu valley.

This has then been made popular to the rest of the country and the Nepalese diaspora living in India. Also saying that an image is from Kathmandu and calling it Indian style does not make sense as it has been made unique in the valley by its inhabitants over hundreds of years. 2001:8003:2970:F900:783C:AC51:6339:6698 (talk) 03:11, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

@RandomCanadian and Þjarkur: Outside of obvious abuse I'm not a fan of protecting talk pages. The requests here are repetitive, but aren't happening as often as when I protected it two weeks ago. As an experiment, I've collapsed all of the requests to make unsourced changes to the origins of the dish. Any new edit requests that come in that don't actually support the changes requested can just be deactivated and moved into the collapse box. The upside of this is that there may be a new user who can actually provide reliable sources that will allow editors to put the issue to rest, which can't happen if the talk page is semi-protected.

Change alternative names to "མོག་མོག, मःमः" changing the devanagari version from म:म: (with colons) to मःमः (with Visarga) SwaGiri (talk) 15:27, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

Done, and thank you for pointing this out. Apocheir (talk) 17:04, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

Country of origin

Momo is a nepali dish poular in south Asian countries like India,bhutan,Bangladesh,Nepal and pakistan.Many people say their origin is from Tibet but it is a nepali food as mome means made by steaming in newari.It was brought to Tibet by a nepali princess named Brikuti.Momo is a dish of newari people of Kathmandu. Aaditya Basnet666 (talk) 04:03, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

Again this is unsourced. If you wish to prove a point then please find a reliable source of evidence. You can’t just say that people are wrong to think it’s from Tibet. AtishT20 (talk) 07:13, 31 July 2023 (UTC)

lol, Bhrikuti came to tibet as the chosen queen to spread buddhism, not momos TMQaham (talk) 04:24, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

Momo has nothing to do with Nepalese people or their culture. Momo word as per the Oxford dictionary has Tibetan origin and meaning. Momo was, is and will always be a Tibetan dish. Nepalese people have dishes similar to their Indian brethrens like Thali, dal bhaat etc,. 2A00:F29:2C8:B363:CDC4:8260:4FCC:B147 (talk) 22:49, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

Please stop edit warring over which country invented momos. Nepal and Tibet both have weak arguments based in folklore. If you can't come up with anything better than that, don't bother. Apocheir (talk) 01:21, 30 July 2023 (UTC)

Why is there a sudden change in the place of origin? The page remained fine and there’s no sufficient evidence to prove that momos came from Nepal. AtishT20 (talk) 07:12, 31 July 2023 (UTC)

The references cited on this page did not support attributing their origin exclusively to Tibet or Nepal. The best thing to do in that case is to present both viewpoints and point out that the evidence is inconsistent. Apocheir (talk) 21:35, 31 July 2023 (UTC)

This still does not mean that we can include that Nepal is one of the countries of origin. AtishT20 (talk) 21:46, 9 August 2023 (UTC)

Please stop this nationalist edit warring. If the cites don't definitively settle the issue, neither can the Wikipedia article. We can either keep the 'or' version, or we can remove both claims entirely. We cannot have the article pick a side by choosing only one. MrOllie (talk) 22:05, 9 August 2023 (UTC)

This has nothing do to with Nationalism. I’m not Tibetan so your point is invalid. AtishT20 (talk) 08:50, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

The reference [1] that asserts that momos originated in Nepal is of poor quality, but the references asserting that momos originated in Tibet are no better. Apocheir (talk) 01:16, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

Change place of origin from Tibet and Nepal to just Tibet as it is the origin of the food. No matter if the food is popular and widely consumed in Nepal it's still not the place of origin, with that logic Bhutan or even India should make it in that list. The whole sentence of "Momos are usually served with a sauce known as achar influenced by the spices and herbs used within many South Asian cuisines." only really applies to Nepali momo so that should be clarified or omitted completely. The whole introduction seems to give a great emphasis on Nepali aspects which are not even traditional, and are made to seem the norm for all momo. Momos should just be momo too.

 Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{Edit semi-protected}} template. M.Bitton (talk) 13:35, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

There is no debate on the origin of momo. It simply originated in Tibet and is now consumed in Nepal, Bhutan, and India. With your logic you should include all of those countries too. Appeasing both sides will create inauthenticity, just date back the history and simple logistics. Dumplings originated in China (if you argue that this too will create a war then why are you even editing wiki pages) and Tibet created its own version (just like Mongolia, Japan, Korea, etc) and this was then introduced to Nepal just like Bhutan. Bhutan has just as much history of eating momo as Nepal but I don't see you putting Bhutan in the origin? What if Bhutanese nationalists were to argue over that? You simply can't please any country who wants claim over a dishes origin as you would then have to appease all. You can simply state that it is widely consumed in Nepal after its popularity there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nyidonla (talk • contribs) 11:36, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

It's not momos, please correct that. "Momos" name is not acceptable form of name and never existed before. It must be Momo or Mo:mo. Thank you 142.113.184.211 (talk) 04:29, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
