Likely WP:HOAX. I get no hits on "Flopbread" or any of its alternative names. Also, the references mention nothing called Flopbread.
As a sidenote i have to add im suspicious about some of the breads alternative names - such as "Jimbo Lampa" and "yu tust gud" Excirial (Contact me,Contribs) 09:11, 15 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Being a native New Zealander, I actually know of flopbread and it is quite a well-known food in this country. I would appreciate if you kept this page as wikipedia is about spreading knowledge, and people that are sick of conventional bread will certainly find this appetizing-yes I tried to click on the links to flopbread, they didn't work-that was probably just a mistake of the person who made this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.221.122.26 (talk) 09:22, 15 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Note that the above IP vandalised the paratha (a type of Indian bread) article to claim that "Larry Flowers", the alleged inventor of "flopbread", also invented the paratha, and to insert other BS. cab (talk) 11:33, 15 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Strong delete blatant hoax, starting from the very first sentence with the alleged "Maori" text which says Paratha in the completely unrelated language of Tamil. Zero gbooks hits either with or without a space. cab (talk) 11:28, 15 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. I love the strange characters ("பராட்டா") used for the Māori translation: Te reo Māori is written using a sub-set of the alphabet we all know and love, so the strange characters ring alarm bells for me (who is also a native Kiwi, with cousins in Nelson who most curiously have never mentioned this culinary delight to me. "[D]ipping the flopbread into Peppermint or Orange-Peco Tea" strikes me as another red flag. Cheers, This flag once was redpropagandadeeds 11:44, 15 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
