[edit] Origin of word
There was a mistake inserted into the text, and in order not to see the same mistake again, hereby I quote (quickly translating) from the "Etimológiai szótár" that the word "kifli" is first recorded in 1785, and is of an Austrian German origin, "Kipfel", having the same meaning. And (being a Hungarian myself), this particular food had the same name since decades. So the claim that the name was coined from a pop group's name is misleading and clearly untrue. By the way, what I just said about the etymology might fit well in the Wiktionary. 84.3.190.36 (talk) 16:06, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
