Armenian Cuisine
As Armenia is one of the ancient
courtiers of the world, Armenian Cuisine is deeply
rooted as well. In the 9-7th centuries B.C.
the dwellers of Armenia were engaged in agriculture.
During the excavations karases ( large wine jars) were
founded.
Armenia is rich with fruites,
vegetables, and herbs.
Armenian traditional bread is lavash
which is baked in the tonir. Bread is the main and holy
food for the Armenians, the proof of which is the fact
that the Armenians call << Have bread >> when they eat
something. You can keep this bread for 3-4 months. Armenian cuisine is rich with spices
and dresses. Armenian basturma (dry meat with chaman )
and sugux are proof of it.
Armenian national dishes are dollma
(rolling with grapevines or cabbage leaves) , harisa (
German wheat pilaf with small slices of chicken), khorovatz (barbecue), spas ( tan with
wealth),pasucdollma (rolling with different kinds of
groceries), spinach, stewed
spinach, ajapsandal ( with different vegetables) ,matsun
( like yogurt) and of course khashe (dense bouillon
like consommé of beef legs ). It is cooked very long
(about 10 hours) on the small fire. It is a very
spectacular show to see how an Armenian eats KHASH.
etc.. But you can find pizzas, dounats, oriental
cuisine various kinds of salads and other dishes here
too.
Armenian national desserts are gata,
phaxlava and so on.
The variety of fast food places,
pizzas, restaurants, cafes will astonish you.
