All I can find is a single brief mention in one book, which suggests this is not notable enough for its own article (hence why, after a decade, the article is still just one sentence long), and indeed suggests that xabbatog may not even be real. (This came up on Wiktionary's Requests for Verification page, where we couldn't find evidence that it was real.)

Userfy. It's quite possible this is real, but the only source is published by the Chinese government. Which still doesn't mean this isn't real, but we need better sources for pretty much anything written by China about Tibet. I couldn't find much else that I could rule out having been taken from WP, couldn't even find a recipe in English. It's possible that someone who reads Tibetan would be able to find some recipes, which would at least prove this dish is real. Foods from small countries without a history of food journalism or academic study are very difficult, especially when we're dealing with transliteration, which is why I would prefer to userfy.

Delete -- There are no sources for this that I can find. Every mention appears to be a mirror of Wikipedia. When there is a dish that doesn't even have online recipes, I am extremely sceptical. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 15:24, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
