This article sounds like a hoax. Sources don't match what the article says, and it seems this dish does not even exist. Googling "Gakhain makh orooson" only leads to this article, no mention elsewhere. This is a blatant hoax TheCoffeeAddict talk|contribs 11:25, 19 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Snow Delete. Hoax. "This dish was invented in 1200s, where Genghis Khan found potatoes, and cows and pigs in China. He found a way to put the three together. This concoction was well received within the Mongols." Potatoes? In China in the 13th Century? They are a New World crop. Plus, none of the links used as references refer to combinations of beef and pork, but instead to dishes made of sheep, goat, marmot and camel. And then there is the link to a recipe for P F Chang-style "mongolian beef." Finally, no sources found in gSearches. Geoff | Who, me? 22:23, 19 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes I agree. I just tagged it {{db-hoax}} with an indication that the closing administrator should visit this discussion. I think we can speed this along. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 00:16, 20 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
