Re: Voyage round Armenian Culture

I had never heard of 'mante'. What is that?

Lucin jan, Mante making reminds me of "tserakords" handicraft, handiwork. Like KanadaHye said, after it's browned in the 350o oven, when ready to eat them, you cook it a little on a skillet with some (not a lot) chicken broth and see to it that it's still crisp. Then you put some 'madsoun' and a bit grinded garlic. It's the best Armenian food I like.

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.

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.

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...

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

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

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??

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?

No disrespect to vegetarians.... if you take meat from my diet, you'll be next on the menu!!

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

What does a soy t-bone steak look like? lol

Do you really want to know? lol
