Azerbaijani cuisine was removed recently. Azerbaijani food is practically identical to Arab and Turkish food (especially the Levantine Arab Countries) and exists in places in the Middle East such as Iran. Is this a template about food and it's historical/cultural influences or instead is this about the Middle East's boundaries of food? It seems inappropriate to exclude based solely on map boundaries, in my opinion. All of these Caucasus countries belong on this template because their people/region is located halfway in the Middle East and there is a lot of overlap. Please discuss here. Cuisines removed today include: Armenian cuisine, Azerbaijani cuisine, Caucasian cuisine, Circassian cuisine, Georgian cuisine.

In order to try to solve this issue, I made a new grouping of "related cuisine" and placed these previously deleted ones inside.
