No confusion[edit]

@UserNumber: you suggested to merge the article in Sandesh. For your ignorance, all Bengali S sound don't turn into H sounds in Sylheti. We, most of the Sylheti people use the term Mishti to indicate different kinds of sweetmeat including Sandesh. The main ingredients for Sandesh are Chhena, milk and sugar. While Handesh is made of just sugar/molasses and flour. Even the preparation isn't similar. There's always diversity that represents certain people's, region's or country's culture and customs. To apply your own thoughts always right, please add better sources and keep Wikipedia more acceptable as it is universal.--Abu Sayeed (talk) 10:42, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I am Sylheti myself and Handesh/Shondesh are used interchangeably. You even stated yourself it is known as Gurer Shondesh in other parts of Bangladesh, which proves that it does not need a separate article. It is also quite misleading as it is eaten in neighbouring districts as well so it is a Bangladeshi cuisine, not exclusive to Sylhet. UserNumber (talk) 11:21, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it doesn't mean that Gurer Sandesh made of a Sandesh with gur (molasses). Bangladeshi style Handesh is different from Sylheti one. Firstly they make Handesh and then soak it into milk. Which is different from Sylhetis. So, Handesh maybe a bit similar to Gurer Sandesh, not it's not similar to Sandesh anyway. --Abu Sayeed (talk) 11:59, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
