Man this is annoying me... every day I learn ANOTHER food of ours isn't ours. Dolma? Greeks. Lahmajoon? Arabs. Kabeb? Persians. Dude, seriously... can anyone list me some authentic Armenian food? There's gonna be some, being that we're one of the oldest cultures on the planet.. you think we woulda wrote a recipe or two.

Man, the only times I feel like a bad armenian are when I'm posting here. What's Harisa? I'm afraid I don't know what that is... or maybe I do, and I just didn't know that was the name.Originally posted by spiral"All I know is I'm not a Marxist." -Karl MarxComment

Of all the meals you named, I don't think any one country can claim to be the "owner" of it. All these nations have been in direct contact for thousands and thousands of years. The origin and evolution of each meal would be almost impossible to find.Comment

Well, I must say that I am pretty surprised that you don't know what harisa is.Originally posted by HyeJinx1984
Best way to describe it would be "the thing that tastes so good for something that looks so ugly".Comment

Dolma is not greek. Dolma is turkish and it comes from Adana and Cilicia.Originally posted by HyeJinx1984
My grandma told me and I believe her. The reason why greeks know how to cook dolma is because they had armenian neighbors. ( in Polis, Asia Minor and Cypros lots of greek-armo popularities~~~local influences
)

If we formed an Armenian boy band would you be Justin or JC? I have a feeling I'd Krisker Patrick or Joey Fatone. Dants can be Lance. Anon would be our mascot. This would be very cool indeed.Originally posted by fIReBuRntInHeLL

Anyway... me and a friend were talking about this the other day and finally just decided that all mediterainian cultures have the same food so it's hard to see that any one food is from any one culture. That said, there still must be uniquely Armenian food out there. Euorpe has a lot of similar food too, but there's clearly defined Italian food, french food, german food, etc..."All I know is I'm not a Marxist." -Karl MarxComment

This is getting silly. To say that dolma is originally from one place or another doesn't make sense. It's freakin meat in a leaf. I'm sure they thought of it in more than one place. I know that no matter what food I list in here one of you is gonna jump down my throat and tell me it's from somewhere esle so screw it.Comment
