I read somewhere that kokoretsi is tied together with veins. Is this true? 67.22.243.14 21:22, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
Nope. It's the long intestine, as the article says. I 've made a few myself, so I know. I don't really think it's practical to extract the veins from an animal to use them like that. Stassa 13:24, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
Is the origin of the name albanian? According to the Greek article, the word kokoretsi derives from a romanian word. Some citation is needed. -- CeeKay 01:08, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
It is indeed Albanian, thus I would suggest to move the article to Kukurec as per originality. What do you think? -- Emir Ali Enç ( talk) 12:51, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
Here's the argument for merging Kokoreç into Kokoretsi rather than vice versa:

I'm afraid you've made a rather serious error in suggesting this my friend. Kokoreç is NOT the same thing as kokoretsi, just because they both use lamb intestines in their recipes does not make them the same dish, though they are somewhat related. What you are suggesting would be akin to asking for meatballs to be in the same article as a fillet mignon steak, simply because they're both made from beef. I'm sorry sir, but you are mistaken. -- 71.231.151.23 04:32, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
Kokoretsi and kokoreç are no doubt not identical. There is also a large amount of variation within recipes for kokoretsi and kokoreç. A merged article would be an excellent place to discuss both what they have in common and how they differ, just as the meatball article has a huge range of meatballs, including Swedish köttbullar, Spanish albóndigas, Italian polpette, Indonesian bakso, etc. There is also a separate article for the köfte family of meatballs, because it is large and widespread (and also quite diverse). Please don't think that I'm suggesting the merge for some trivial nationalistic reason—the köfte article includes κεφτέδες, for example, the criterion being the common English name. -- Macrakis 16:22, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

this is not greek food.this is balkan or turkish food. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.179.113.130 ( talk) 18:42, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
I don't know about other countries, but in Greece we always use liver in kokoretsi. In fact liver,lungs and sweetbreads are the main filling and heart is only used for keeping the rest of them firmly on the stewer. Kidneys are rarely used because they tend to melt and fall off or in the worst case explode (!). Also, lemon and olive oil are never used for seasoning,as the lemon would "harden" the ingredients and olive oil is not needed as their is enough fat already. Vineagar or lemon is used to thorougly clean the long intestines used for wrapping. Could I add a recipe and/or change the article? Yeomos ( talk) 15:00, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
I apologize if I had no reason to question Albanian origin of the word here. The name sounded Greek to me. Still, I would appreciate if the quote from the source could be provided?-- Antidiskriminator ( talk) 22:43, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
