"The laws of kashrut require avoiding eating dairy pastries together with ones containing meat, so conventional, distinctive shapes are used to indicate different types of fillings."
I doubt this is true or even relevant. Bourekas could easily contain trace amounts of dairy or even butter, and thus be forbidden from eating with meat, regardless of their shape. The only real way to distinguish a boureaka as dairy or non dairy is by verifying this with the individual bakery.Some bakeries in differet parts of the country also use different shapes, so there is no real "conventional, distinctive shape."
I'm not sure that the Bourekas is Bulgarian in origin. My father told me it originated from Bulgaria, because it was once only available in a neighbourhood dominated by Bulgarian immigrants, but he could be mistaken. Can anyone verify it?

What does "we should have our own" mean? There are certainly national, regional, and even personal variations on the general theme of burek, but what is the value of having separate articles on Bosnian, Greek, Moldovan, Israeli, etc. borek? In the case of "theme and variations" like this, doesn't it make more sense to have them all together, especially since many of the variations cut across national/regional lines? --Macrakis 19:43, 25 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
The infobox lists place of origin as Israel, but the text of the article states that Bourekas were created by Sephardic Jews living throughout Ottoman lands, then brought to Israel during the Jewish exodus from Arab and Muslim countries. Many food pages have the "place of origin" and/or "region or state" in the infobox. For Bourekas, I think "region or state: Israel" would make sense, while "place of origin: Israel" seems incorrect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.196.181.137 (talk) 01:28, 8 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
