(my mum still feeds my elder sister )

Uhhhhhhh, I find that very disturbing. Does she still bathe you 2 also? I bet she does your laundry. Maybe she even dresses you in the morning, and tells you goodnight stories.

Emil yeah, she would i bet if i were still with her,

i guess this is because she is trying to give me and my sister all her love so that we wont feel the absence of our father, who passed away when we were very young...

and she is a good mother, i suppose all the mothers are same

hey guys, we were supposed to talk about food?

jahannam thanx for explaining but i guess we both eat those stuff...

[jahannam]

A cultural anthropologist would disagree, there are similarities even though you will not agree, history doesn't work that way, we are all influenced by one another especially geographic neighbors.

when we're talking Morocco and Algeria for example... you can say they have similar cultures... cuz except for the fact that they're neighbors, they're all arabs, they're all muslim, they all speak similar dialects of arabic... there's always been INTERACTION... directly and indirectly between their people...
but when it comes to Armenians, they've tried to stay away from ottomen, turks, azeries etc. since the beginning of time... mostly because of religion, partly because of politics...
pure armenian music(i'm not talking Aram Asatryan here), for instance, is significantly different from traditional turkish music...
Armenian dishes such as Herisa or Borani, have nothing to do with their Dolma or samsak...
Armenians have always worked on keeping their identity = they haven't interacted with odars= they haven't followed odar traditions...

you guys keep missing the point that just cuz we use "merci" in our daily language doesn't mean french and Armenian cultures are similar...
just cuz your mom knows how to make dolma, doesn't mean we share cultures with turks...

jahannam, i have opened this thread so that i could come to know 'original' Armenian dishes...

[Artsakhtsi]

hey by the way i saw in the cookbooks that we have similiar foods if not identical ( some identical ones are as follows: lahmacun, dolma, pilav, borek)

Lahmacun = 100% Arabic cuisine
dolma = turkish
pilav = persian
borek = middle eastern
most Armenians cook and/or eat those dishes, but they also cook Pizza, Pasta, kung pao chicken and fajitas...
get over it... Turkish and Armenian cultures are neither "similar" nor "identical"

Dolma is not turkish dish, that's for sure, and not armenian either... kurds,arabs, syrians,russian,tadziks,uzbek ppl...... so it's kind of difficult to tell ... where does this particula *dolm* dish come from.

U know, last week, my sister came home from school... and told us some disturbing thing..., her history teacher, told that Potato is originaly from Turkey When we all know that it realy comes from the South America ...
I mean when u hear such a stupid things,,,


p.s ppl, what about Harisa? ... I am almost posotive that it is 100% armenian!

[jahannam]

as far as I know... dolma is a turkish dish.. but I'll check back...
and Herisa IS a 100% traditional Armenian dish.. as I had pointed out in my last post...
yum.. I love Herisa...

[Artsakhtsi]

Yeah, harisa is the best....
but in Artsakh we call it *kour-kout* 8)

Hej, u know what it delicious? *Sougouh*.... damn i miss it!

[jahannam]

(including kids who do drugs and have sex and all that bad stuff, of course)
