Confusing intro

I changed the intro. Every first sentence of an article is a "summary" of it, so I removed confusing sentences or description. We do not know what gata is nor Tagalog. I don't understand why the writer described the dish like that.--Caspian blue 23:18, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The edit might have misleading implications. By defining guinataan first as a specific dessert, the article is undermining the linguistic nature of the term - that it is, in fact, really, anything that is cooked with coconut milk, like what was said in the cited article: not just a dessert, but also viands like the shellfish dishes guinataang sugpo and guinataang alimango, to cite some examples. I apologize, however, for the slipshod quality of the text prior to your editing. I'm fairly new here, and am still familiarizing myself with editing the articles.--Lynyrdjym (talk) 00:50, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"viands"

The sentence "Ginataan usually refers to viands, which are eaten with rice ... " contains a link at 'viands' to an article entitled 'cuisine' where the word 'viands' does not occur. Since 'ginataan usually refers to viands' it would be useful to explain what 'viands' means or use another word. --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 17:45, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
