Russian cuisine — The entry claims that the French popularized tomatoes during the Petersburg era (late 18th c.–1860s), but tomatoes were not widely popularized by the French in that period; they became common later in the 19th century, often via Southern European or Crimean in
Russian cuisine — The entry's periodization lists 'Petersburg (late 18th c.–1860s)' as a separate period after 'Peter and Catherine the Great (18th c.)', but standard culinary history (e.g., Pokhlyobkin) treats Petersburg cuisine as starting from the early 18th century (Peter's
Aspic — The earliest reference to aspic is stated as the 9th century, but the cited poetic reference by Ibrahim ibn al-Mahdi describes a gelled dish with Iraqi carp, which is not a verified historical reference to aspic as known in Russian or European cuisine; the cla
Aspic — The entry states that Marie-Antoine Carême created Chaudfroid sauce, but Chaudfroid sauce was not invented by Carême; it existed before him, though he popularized and refined its use.

Butter lamb — The claim that the butter lamb is 'sometimes called a buttered lamb' is not a widely recognized alternate name in established canon; 'buttered lamb' is not a standard term for this item.
Cossack cuisine — The entry lists Amur, Yenisey, and Ussuri among rivers where Cossack hosts settled, but these are Far Eastern and Siberian rivers not associated with the traditional Cossack hosts of the Eastern European steppes that are the entry's focus.
Cossack cuisine — The entry states 'Winemaking on the Don emerged with Greek colonies around the sixth century B.C.E.,' but Greek colonies in the Don region were established in the 3rd century B.C.E., and winemaking there is not reliably attested that early.
Crimean Tatar cuisine — Göbädiä (gubadia) is a Volga Tatar dish, not a canonical Crimean Tatar dish.
