Chop-chop = thiéboudiène?

Chop-chop (African dish) is a red link which makes me wonder whether such dish actually exists. Could it be thiéboudiène, the national dish of Senegal made from fish, tomato paste and rice (among other ingredients)? I couldn't find any sources to back this up, so it's just my guess. But I find it plausible that Polish fishermen came across the dish during their visits to Dakar,[1] and misremembered its name, pronounced roughly "cheb-o-jin", as "chop-chop". Anyway, more research is needed. — Kpalion^(talk) 16:06, 17 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and there's no such thing as pima peppers either, is there? I'm pretty sure that it's how the Polish fishermen misheard piment, the French word for chili pepper. — Kpalion^(talk) 02:49, 18 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Name change

Hi,

I have realized that it would be much more convenient if the name of the article on English Wikipedia is changed to Szczecin paprikash. It is an acceptable form of English rendering and anglicization which is found on many websites and sources. It would be easier for English readers to comprehend the name that way. Oliszydlowski (talk) 06:44, 20 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You would have to demonstrate that "Szczecin paprikash" is the common English term for this product. You can start by providing some of these sources that use "Szczecin paprikash" as the primary name. In my opinion, it would be just as incomprehensible to most English speakers as the original Polish name, so there wouldn't be much to be gained from such a change. — Kpalion^(talk) 13:03, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
