Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    Yeghav Lucin jan? Then you'll let me know if our KanadaHye is a good teacher as a chef.

      Well, you know how to open a good dough, then Lucin can put the itsy bitsy meats in there and you can both close them and it will be done.

      Then she can teach you how to make Pirashki KanadaHye. See its easy, when there's a will, it can be done.

          Is it possible? Knowing our stingy Vanetsi, I imagine as he predicted a flour fight (alyurakriv in Armenian) will break out and we'll have to order a pizza finally... but at least he is funny to laugh with which would compensate for all his charutyun.

          Brown golden soft cover up 5-10 inches long filled with meat, cheese, or potatoes
          Apparently some haven't... so it should be an eastern (Hayastantsi and Parskahai) thing.

            Lucin, there is no way a decent Armenian would invite somebody over for mante and end up putting pizza on the table..... that would be entirely sacrilegious

            Pirashki is definitely an Eastern Armenian thing...

            Anyone else's strange Armenian family stuff Dolma into mussels? lol

                de uremn anhamper spasum et ko 'mante-in'!

                lol, seriously? We usually stuff it into tomato, aubergine or pepper, of course besides the grape leaf and cabbage type (which I hate)...

                I wonder why some pronounce it as tolma (with a 'տ') instead of Dolma.

                  Seriously, and it's a pain in the vor to prepare the mussels just to stuff Dolma inside of the little creatures. You have to jam a knife inside to break open the shell, etc, etc. I'm not a fan of the cabbage either, no point of wasting a perfectly good cabbage for dolma instead of Toorshi


                  Dolma/Tolma? Probaby the eastern/western thing like David/Tavit...Ararat/Ararad

                    My two picks: Tass Kebab and Mante
                    Sorry guys for spoiling the appetite but I don't have a clue 1. what tas qebab is, is it something cooked in the oven with minced meat?
                    2. What is mante? I know the Russian version of it, which is pronounced Manti and also the Uzbeks claim that's their national dish? I am lost....

                      1) http://www.hamovhotov.com/Recipes_me_Tass_Kebab.htm

                      2) Mante is baked, then slightly steamed in broth. I looked up Manti, and it looks more of a steamed dumpling, similiar in preparation.
