Before I arrive home, I smell the cooking of my mum. I get in, and get changed out of my school uniform, wash my hands. She asks me if I'm hungry, if no, I eat 10 minutes later, if yes, she puts on the table for me; whatever I'm having, cheese, marinated pickles, salad, something to drink, and bread.

When my dad gets home, we eat, again, together.

On holidays and hot days; my dad cuts up watermelon, and fruits. We eat on the coffee table.

...that's the cooking aspect.

yeah i refused to drink armenian coffee for so long. Then i had my first one a couple months ago , and the second i drank it i could feel the caffeine go straight to my brain. After that it wasnt the same, so now i just drink one probably once a week or so, i play games and im a little bit faster w/ shooting people.

You're a funny little Asian-loving guy, aren't you?

I've been laughing at your posts more and more lately.



And oh yea, coffee is bad, baaaaaaaaaad I tell you!

I was cracking up at the peeled fruits "custom", haha. I had no idea it was so common among Armenians. In fact, I'm eating a bowl of fruits that my grandma gave me RIGHT NOW.

Ah, you see the things Baron Dants does for you guys!

The way I found out that it was so common for Armenians was this:

I was chatting with a Morrocan friend and I told her I had to go eat the fruits my dad had peeled. And she said something like "why would your dad do that?", and I had an epiphany! So I asked all my Armenian friends if they had the same thing going on at their house, and the results were overwhelming!

well done ... mr dants
your sentences are always interesting (like YOu)...so all armenians keep on eating fruits cause it's very useful for our health...
& because i'll be busy for a month by preparing my univ. exams so i wish all of you a fantastic year & merry christmas....all the best for the Armenians all over the world...

When I get home from work, depending on my moms schedule, she's either in the kitchen cooking dinner or at work...and my dad is most probably watching some various game of sports in the living room, and my little sister is doing homework in her room....If my mom's at work, it's either leftovers or take out. And if by some miracle we're all home at the same, we'll have dinner where we will regale each other with stories of our day...and afterwards everyone will go off to their little corner of the house...towards the end of the night, my dad will want tea or coffee (both of which I despise) and my mom will bring out the fruit (which I don't eat) At this point, I'm either not home...or I'm up in my room either reading or on the computer.

The only thing that I can think of and that has come up with many of my Armenian friends is the "fruit eating" tradition. lol, I don't know if this sounds familiar to any of you, but on most nights, my dad will peel a ton of fruits and expect us to all gather around and eat them.

WOW..my mom does the same thing. We always have fruit in the house.. all kinds of fruit depending on the season. I once spent a week from home and thought I would die because the people I stayed with had practically no fruit in their kitchen. I never thought of this as an Armenian thing, I just thought my mom wanted us to be healthy and eat lots of fruit.

Exactly. Baron, Im glad you shared that. It makes me feel closer to you guys (my only Armenian contacts).
