Armenian Recipes

When it's cold, you can eat a lot, trust me. Try sitting in a Mercedes for 6-7 hours, driving to Meghri, not getting a chance to eat, and then suddenly standing on a mountain, near a metal table overlooking a valley. Then we'll see whether you can eat an entire lavash or not. Normally, I eat a lot, that's true, drink LOT'S of water as well, but I'm not this fat kid either bro, don't get me wrong. Sometimes I don't eat at all for a day or two. I feel better that way, fasting helps. I love to eat, that's a fact though but I don't stuff myself.



Well, you clearly haven't eaten Lavash properly yet, especially standing on a mountain. When you come to Armenia, I'll take you to that very same spot and then we'll see how much you eat. Just standing there makes you hungry. The valley, the rivers, the flowers, the trees, the people around you, the sun, etc. Anyways, you gotta see it to believe it . I hope all of you come here someday.

The best place to eat it is by the river below Geghart with freshly cooked shashlik, dip it in the meat plate, pick up the vegetables with it, or simply, when you've finsihed eating, use it to wipe round your mouth! Saco Jan, I've been to most places, 2 years since last visit though. Maybe I eat too much other food, but lavash I miss most because I can't find a substitute here, the closest was from an Iranian shop, close but no cigar.
One of my best memories was driving to Ijevan in the summer, stopping for a break and a family sat under a tree were carving the world's biggest Water Melon, of course as 6 of us came into the shade, the melon was shared around, happy days. That reminds me, Saco, do you still see toot(?) on the trees? Excuse my spelling again.

Yeah, I love the wildreness. We camped in a great spot near Gheghart on a hill and trust me, I kid you not, at around 3 in the morning, everyone woke up to the sound of a bear not far off. We were camping there with our tent we baught in the US, a pro. tent. It left few minutes later. I guess that's the beauty of nature, what makes us forget about all the problems in the world, reminding us how simple life is, where we belong. We sometimes lose ourselves in all the hectic comotion in this world. Damn, a lot's changed in Armenia trust me. Since I came back, about two years back, maybe a bit more, I've been to Geghart about twice. We might have seen each other there . The world is such a small place. I met people the other day I never thought I would've seen again in my life, all the way from India.

Don't even remind me, imagine eating every bread in existence BESIDES Lavash. As a matter of fact, I'm going to go grab a bite right now .

6 of you, who were the fifth and sixth?

You didn't spell it wrong, that's as close as it gets, lol. Toot? NOW? No way, maybe in the markets for like 2000-3000 drums a kilo but not on the trees. It's winter bro, don't forget.

Haha, sorry Vahe Jan, I'm a bit evil sometimes. *Bites a large peice of Lavash* Lol, just kidding, hope you can come here in the near future. I know what it's like to be far from home.

Yeah, of course. Those are really fun times here. I was at my village last year, got the chance to shake a few trees with the entire family. My uncle, my grandma, many relatives were all there too. Good times .
