• Keep: The article needs work but it is definitely encyclopedic... gren 11:43, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep -- and cleanup. - Longhair | Talk 12:16, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep no different from Canadian cuisine Klonimus 04:19, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Weak delete The article seems to more-or-less be about the absence of Nauruan cuisine, as well as a not-too-subtle chastisement of the locals for eating junk food. Maybe a good article might be made about this topic someday (though the current one suggests that there's not much material to work with) but it would have to be a complete rewrite. If article is kept, I suggest merging with Nauru. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 14:06, Apr 23, 2005 (UTC)
• Merge/redirect into Culture of Nauru. Wonder what the traditional cuisine is? FreplySpang (talk) 17:48, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Merge to Culture of Nauru. Megan1967 04:17, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Merge as above. Radiant_* 10:58, Apr 25, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep at this location and not redirect. The "X-an Cuisine" is a common subarticle of the main Culture article. In this case, this article has more information than most Cuisine articles, as most have never gotten past a list of links, (see even Cuisine of the United States). --Dmcdevit 01:12, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, all food is notable for a truly great encyclopædia.

Grue is the name of a high protein oatmeal-based concoction used in Arkansan prisons for punishment rations- edible and nourishing, but revolting.

Grue was also at the center of a 1970s Supreme Court case -- prisoners claimed the food was unconstitutionally bad, and the court agreed that the grue-serving prison was violating the 8th amendment, inflicting cruel and unusual punishment. It is mentioned in an NPR article on a currently suspect prison dish "the loaf." Grue 18:07, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
