Greek Sweets of the Spoon (Greek: Γλυκό Του Κουταλιού) is a Greek traditional homemade fruit confectionery called spoon sweets,
So why is the article not called "Spoon Sweets" or "Spoon Sweets of Greece"? After all, if that is what they are called, then that is what they are called?

I'd leave it as it is, the title has a resonance and curiosity value and if any other country has them avoids clumsy disambig pages. Anyway, I've found at least one other page (Mastic) that links to it; if all the other ingredients do there's a lot of work to accompany any change.(!) Britmax 10:01, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
My recent edits should resolve this debate. Spoon sweets are found in a much larger area than just Greece. As for "Sweets of the spoon", that is a word-for-word translation of the Greek, and besides being unidiomatic English, is also rarely used (according to Google, about 100x less than "Spoon sweets", even including Wikipedia mirrors). -- Macrakis 17:25, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
There seems to be a big misunderstanding here: the "submarine" (υποβρύχιο) spoon sweet comes in two very distinct forms in terms of aromatic profile. The one is, in fact, called βανίλια (vanilla) and is, in fact, aromatized with the addition of artificial vanillin (since using vanilla extract would be extremely expensive in the long run and vanillin has been adopted widely in Greece anyway); there is a separate spoon sweet, μαστίχα (mastic), which has actual mastic oil. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:587:CC24:1300:649A:6F9E:55B:649E ( talk) 14:18, 27 March 2018 (UTC)
