Stolen: How Yemenis stole Somali food and culture

@AussieHustler

Your a a coon, confirmed!

Mookhbassa, and makhbuz/khabiz the arabic word for baked, is pronounced completely differently, plus originally this food is supposed to be roasted outside on the beach on an open flame pit, not in an oven nacala :pachah1:

Also I concur with the OP of this thread that is indeed called Kaluun Zayla'i as well, :pachah1:

The food is not Yemeni at all, stop shucking and jiving for your arab masters you poor geeljire, stop asking me for money everytime your animals die :nahgirl:

@Cityviews

Be a man, make things happen, be creative and industrious rather than.....never mind. The word is Arabic, the dish is Yemeni, go and be proud of muqmad. Stop stealing other people’s dishes.

We suffer from inferiority complex and before the world acknowledges our stupidity by claiming Mercedes Benz is originally Somali, is there a remedy?

I have not seen one. The falsehoods on the Somali Wikipedia pages seem even to be growing. There are whole new independent volumes of it out there. And they pass it around, reinforcing each other.

The Wikipedia stuff is from clannists trying to portray their clans as indestructible and exemplary among the Somali clans. The bloated Somali history and the revisionism is based on their respective clans to be the guides and leaders of Somalis. Why? The clan history wars are still raging between Somalilanders and Hawiye intellectuals on one side and the Darods on the other side. The former group make a compelling argument that the Kacaanka (Barre’s era) written history is purely fictional and is biased because it is based on the glorification of Darod history and is silent of or says very little about the contributions made by the other clans towards Somali history. But their mistake is, they went overboard with their revisionism and portrayed “their Somalis” as a unique and perfect civilisation that fought all kinds of armies and visited everywhere with little or no documentation. They challenged and even sugarcoated recent Somali history that has been well documented. A Somali will think that his sub-sub-sub clan to be superior than any other clan or even a superpower. Ask them which Somali clan was Ahmed Gurey/Gran? Even this Arab sheikh’s identity is hotly contested because he will elevate the clan’s status real or imagined. The clan conversation (fadhi ku dirrir) of Somali history continues...

@AussieHustler Ahmed gurey wasn't arab and its pathetic that you bring all of your cooning talking points in a thread about the somali infleunce on Yemeni cuisine, which Yemenis themselves admit.

@Cityviews

Have you read “Futu7a Al-7abash” and how he addressed the Somalis? If he’s Somali, what clan was he? My clan Shaley ayaan is-ursaney claim Khalid Al-Walid to be one of us, are there any other Somali claiming him?

So much of it is so silly. Baadiyow blames the SYL for not having more information on the
Ajuraan! :icon e biggrin:

The Wikipedia page on Jilib says this:

"During the Middle Ages, Jilib and its surrounding area was part of the Sultanate of Bqor (King)Nasib Bundo that governed much of Goshaland Somalia and eastern Ethiopia, with its domain extending from Hobyo in the north, to Qelafo in the west, to Kismayo in the south of Somalia.[4]"

The main Somali pages have very little true material left, but the kids lock on as if it were gospel.

I've already exposed the Futuh Al Habash as a fraud in the tribal section, its the most replied to thread as of yet. Go ahead and see it.
 

@Whimsical fanatic

Thanks Sxb, that’s the history wars I’m talking about, I’ve read few pages and it made me want to puke. Nin weeyn baa wuxuu la soo shirtegay a saudi writer called aljezani says, Ahmed Gran was from my clan. This very same guy is now claiming on this thread that Yemeni dishes to be originally Somali dishes (his clan areas). Before he claims Singapore on behalf on his clan, meesha aan isaga carraro.
 
Yemen, Ethiopia and Somalia have been culturally and historically linked for thousands of years, at this point who can even say what came from where? This is like the arguments between Turks and Greeks over who invented feta cheese and yoghurt.

I'm personally neutral on both topic he discussed. Ahmed Gurey's clan is a pretty insignificant detail in the grand scheme of Somali history so why is it that some people spend so much time arguing about it?

And the Yemeni stealing our cuisine theory is pretty laughable in my opinion, food should be spread around the world and shared, but yet for some reason, we have people here gate keeping and saying 'it's our food'. I really don't care who steal from who in this scenario.

By the way Aussie, @Cityviews is a hardcore tribalist, you should try your best to avoid him like the plague.
 
Hahaha

These foods belong to the Somali people.
Some hardcore cooning going on over here wallahi!

Yemenis used to eat lizards. WTF did they have? They used to eat cockroaches and reptiles because they're country cannot grow any food. They had to import it from the rest of the world.

It's clear hard core cooning is going on.

This is why I propose descendants of camel herders should not be allowed to talk about or brag about history they did not take part in.

I made a thread here, about the Somali settlements/influence in Yemen,
https://www.somalispot.com/threads/map-of-yemeni-towns-named-after-somalis-and-other-africans.58743/

they will applaud that but when we start talking about FOOD then it's laughable? If Somalis could build CITIES IN YEMEN, you don't think we brought fucking laxooh iyo malawax with us to those cities?

Hard core cooning wallahi.

stop shaking your ass for yemenis

Why do you revisionists claim ancient Egypt, ancient Nubia, Xamar, and now Yemeni food. You guys are honestly headed the wrong path claiming things that you aren’t your own. People visited ancient Somalia bro check what they wrote! There’s so many sources.
