Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Moravian cuisine — The claim that the cabbage market (Zelný trh) in Brno has existed for 850 years is incorrect; it has existed since the 13th century, making it about 780 years old as of 2025.

Moravian cuisine — The claim that Moravia has abundant almonds is misleading; almonds are not widely grown in Moravia due to climate limitations and are rare.

Czech wine — The entry claims that Ludmila sacrificed wine to a Slavic goddess named 'Krosyně', for which there is no historical or legendary evidence.

Czech wine — The entry states that Saint Wenceslas is honored as 'Supremus Magister Vinearum', a Latin title not historically attested from his era.

Garlic soup — The entry states that in Spanish cuisine, sopa de ajo is made with an egg poached in chicken broth, but traditional sopa de ajo is typically made with water or broth (often not specifically chicken), and the mention of 'sherry' is not a standard or traditional

Gugelhupf — The claim that the Gugelhupf was served at major community events such as weddings in 'late Medieval Austria' is anachronistic; the term 'Austria' as a political entity did not exist in the late medieval period in the modern sense, and the specific association

Kaszanka — The claim that the dish likely originated in Germany or Denmark is not supported by established culinary history; blood sausages with grains have ancient origins across Europe, and 'kaszanka' specifically is a Polish term derived from 'kasha' (buckwheat), with

Kaszanka — The lore entry lists 'kryvianka' in Belarus, but the correct Belarusian name is 'kryvavaya koubasa' or 'kryvavik'; 'kryvianka' is not a standard term.

Lokša — The entry states 'Goose curls are especially associated with Slovenský Grob' and later 'Goose curls made from lokša are especially famous for Slovenský Grob.' The correct term is 'goose cracklings' (škvarky) or 'goose skin rolls,' not 'goose curls.' This is a

Lokša — The entry claims 'In South Moravia, the term lokše can also refer to wide noodles used in soups.' This is factually incorrect: in South Moravia, lokše are the potato flatbreads described; the wide noodles used in soups are called 'lokše' only in some Slovak co

Pea soup — The entry states that Potage Saint-Germain was named after Louis XIV's court at Château de Saint-Germain-en-Laye, but it is actually named after the Comte de Saint-Germain, a French general and minister under Louis XV.
