Is this the same as tamriyeh?
I have just created the article for tamriyeh and I intend to merge this into it, because tamriyeh seems to be a more general concept, with shamishi being one instance of it.
The descriptions of both foods sounds completely identical, and the visuals are also identical:
- https://www.cyprusfoodmuseum.com/en/sylloges/paradosiakes-syntages/shamishi-samisi (see photos)
- https://www.aljazeera.net/lifestyle/2019/2/26/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AA%D9%85%D8%B1%D9%8A%D8%A9-%D8%B7%D8%B9%D9%85-%D8%A2%D8%AE%D8%B1-%D9%84%D8%AD%D9%84%D9%88%D9%89-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%86%D8%A7%D8%A8%D9%84%D8%B3%D9%8A%D9%8A%D9%86 (see video)
Not to mention, the history and geography overlap almost enough for this to be a circle.
But I cannot find a single source that mentions both tamriyeh and shamishi in the same context, so I am not sure if merging is wise here, that said, this is common in former Ottoman territory, where the same dish is found under 20 names. 2kbfloppadisk (talk) 12:14, 12 January 2026 (UTC)
