Incorrect description of “Knefah” under cooking interaction

Under the Cooking Skill section, the meal "Knefah" is described as an Arab dessert.
This description is incorrect.

Künefe is a traditional Turkish dessert originating from Hatay, Türkiye, and is officially registered as a geographical indication.
Describing this meal as an Arab dessert is a factual and cultural misrepresentation and should be corrected.

I don't know whether Turkish cuisine borrowed this dish or came up with its own version independently, but the Arabic version looks like it might be over a thousand years old, so it's certainly established as a distinct dish at this point.
