"Today the product comes in many shapes, including the original squares, stars and little fish."

Please fix it if it has any grammer errors.

Strange page

Why would anyone do a search for "shkedei marak" on English Wikipedia??? They are known in English as "soup almonds." I think the name of the article should be changed accordingly, and if the product is indeed uniquely Israeli (of which I am not at all sure), the Hebrew should be cited in the text itself.--Gilabrand (talk) 14:45, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree about renaming. I'm not sure if it's uniquely Israeli, but it is associated with Israel. I found this piece is Haaretz[1]. -- Nudve (talk) 14:58, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please note: (1) Both Soup Almonds and Soup mandel exist on en:Wiki and redirect to Shkedei marak, so renaming is not absolutely necessary. (2) I have a feeling that the product in this particular shape is more often called in English "soup mandel" than "soup almonds". (3) the Hebrew form of shkedei marak is already in the article (maybe nikkud should be added). (4) This particular form and shape of soup almonds seems to be uniquely Israeli (as the Ha'Aretz cite also suggests). --Zlerman (talk) 02:30, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree also. I think they're best known in English as "soup nuts." Also since many Ashkenazi Jews refer to them (incorrectly) as "croutons," this should be noted in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ari1891adler (talk • contribs) 20:46, 16 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"Incorrectly"? - It says "croutons" on the package. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Drsruli (talk • contribs) 03:29, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ah. Soup Mandlen would be how the product is usually sold here. "Shkedei Marak" is unknown. (Not in evidence.) "Soup Nuts" is also found.

It would probably be helpful, to mention somewhere in the article, by way of explanation to one unfamiliar, that these are functionally croutons.

These could also be compared to a small, uniformly-shaped version of wonton noodles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Drsruli (talk • contribs) 03:31, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Knorr is not an Israeli company

Knorr was originally a German company, now owned by the Anglo-Dutch Unilever (see the article Knorr). This article makes it appear as if Knorr is an Israeli company, see the passage "but today the product is also marketed by other Israeli food companies, such as Vita and Knorr".

Production process?

How are soup almonds made? There could be a big deal for ein bishul acher bishul and those who are stringent on yesh bishul acher afiya. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.172.39.220 (talk) 20:21, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not an answer, I know, but you could ask the same regarding noodles, kreplach, and mazza balls. (When added to the soup before serving, as is commonly done.) Drsruli (talk) 23:39, 2 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
