Voyage round Armenian Culture

Re: Voyage round Armenian Culture

You reminded me of mante - lovely. I'll look at the CA for more food.

Thank you my friend. And guys, don't think of this as ego-fueling or something. I'm not just throwing C&A around aimlessly. We just want to get it more known and hopefully get some views/suggestions/ideas to improve what we've been working on for a long time. Please don't get the wrong idea.

Baklava (yeah baby!) and Khorovads

I thought you were vegetarian bro ^^ ? Remember our last Armenian recipes thread?

By the way guys, incase you didn't know, I'm a chef myself, love to cook and have been doing so for a long time, and am a vegetarian all my life !

Gotta love the soy, man! You know it has more vitamins, prioteins, etc. then meat? And it's the bomb . By the way, no disrespect to non-vegetarians...it doesn't matter what you eat. Karevoru ena vor lav mard linenk. Period.

No disrespect to vegetarians.... if you take meat from my diet, you'll be next on the menu!! What does a soy t-bone steak look like? lol

Don't worry, you won't tell the difference when we replace your steak with a soy steak!

Do you really want to know? lol

Tass kebab (or kabab) is also popular among the Iranians, not sure if it's Armenian originally or Iranian. And I had never heard of 'mante'. What is that?

It's something I'd kill for right about now as I sit here at work and wait for lunch break... lol

I'm not sure if it's just a bolsahye thing... I'd like some input from some other armenians around the world.

It's very tedious to make, and usually you need 3 or 4 people in an assembly line... takes a lot of manual labor but it's all worth it in the end

No, legionnaires like him run away from much worse:they're own inadequacy's.The only connection he has with any of his past is, the weak sense of guilt he feels, when he projects his own Scottish culture on people.

You mean he doesn't put on a kilt, play the bag pipes and toss cabers??

From the site:

The pieces are the size of your pinkie finger. Called mante, they are stuffed with a ball of ground beef, baked, and then devoured with a sauce of yogurt, minced garlic, and mint - a treat even within the Armenian community.

Wow, yummy... it should be a western thing, I hadn't heard of it but it sounds much like 'pirashki', doesn't it? Except that pirashki has other variants too, like cheese or potato...

Yea, it takes a lot of time and work but you eat it off in no time!

Re: Voyage round Armenian Culture

Yea, but you eat it off in no time!

That's the bad part... after 4 hours of work, it's devoured in 5 minutes

Except I've never seen the use of mint.... usually the spice Sumak is sprinkled on top as well as some tomato sauce on top of the yogurt.
