Sargsyan’s Singapore visit agenda commenced on Wednesday morning, and his first stop-over was at the Singapore Botanic Gardens, where an orchid naming ceremony took place. This is a Singaporean ceremony in honor of high-level guests and personalities, and the reason is that the orchid—more specifically, its type called “Vanda Miss Joaquim”—is the national flower of Singapore.]/b\ But Armenian President’s attendance to this ceremony had another meaning, too. And the reason is because Vanda Miss Joaquim was discovered by Armenian botanist Agnes Joaquim (Ashkhen Hovagimian),]/b] and it was named after her. And because of this fact, Armenia’s President wrote the following in the Gardens’ Book of Honorable Guests: “May this beautiful flower also become a symbol of the ===== http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanda_Miss_Joaquim http://farm1.static.flickr.com/46/151283231_57ff0db334.jpg http://www.google.com/search?q=agnes+joaquim&hl=en&rlz=1R2RNTN_enUS376&prmd=imvnsbo&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=CwhzT53DGOLW0QHPpanOAQ&sqi=2&ved=0CFEQsAQ&biw=1050&bih=466 PS.

It is a native Armenian word , a repetitive of ՕՐ/OR. Reminds one of other childrens’ rhymes like “tsapik, tsapik/ and jor, jor, jor @lla” etc.. It is spelled and pronounced differently in many Armenian dialects. Which brings us to the main theme of this item In the Hamshen dialect ororel is օրուշ/oroush. See pgs 620 and 621 here. Sorry.

Hey Yervant, that video is being discussed on the major networks. It can be a good candidate for blonde jokes. Reminds me of the time when we were driving from point A to point C. We had a few choices. Drive horizontally to point B , then vertically to point C., both being more modern and faster highways We had decided to take a less modern, slower scenic diagonal route. It was long arduous if scenic drive, we were doing idle talk. I asked my wife, if the distance from A to B is so many miles and B to C so many, how many miles is A to C? My wife, being very good at math, even better than me solved it in no time, without even pencil and paper. In those days we did not have even a calculator, we had abaci.

Yet another uniquely Marashtsi recipe. I doubt if anyone here has heard about it. Like I said, it is uniquely Marash specialty, even our closest neighbors Aintabtsis don't know it. I know this dish, I have eaten it. My sister was addicted to it. Մէլէնկիշ/Մենենկիչ Wild pistachio soup (melengish/menengiç) This picture is the fresh raw wild pistachio before it is roasted when it turns dark brown like roasted coffee beans, and it attains that distinctive pungent tart flavor.. http://www.houshamadyan.org/typo3temp/pics/38f123da1e.jpg For the longest time I had been looking to see what Melenkish was. Nobody seemed to know. The closest I came was this. But NO!!. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manakish http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Za%27atar_bread.jpg Until one day I saw somewhere, now I forget where that it is Wild Pistachio as shown above. In Armenian we call it Խնկի Ծառ/Khnki Dzar./Խնկենի: See #1 here; http://hyeforum.com/index.php?showtopic=19642 http://www.aircav.net/survival/appb/img104.jpg I am not sure about the chickpea ingredient.

ԿԷՍՋՈՐ, ԿԷՍ ՋՈՒՐ Another uniquely Marash recipe. It is attested by its name in the Marash dialect. As you can see this is a very simple recipe with only 3 ingredients. Btw, when I saw khashlama in Yerevan I was reminded of this, since that also has 3 ingredients, i.e meat, salt and water. I did not east as it looked so gross. http://www.mamul.am/images/photos/snndayin-tunavorum-n158-1.jpg http://www.mamul.am/images/photos/snndayin-tunavorum-n158-1.jpg As stated above, I am personally familiar with most of the recipes, even though as children we were not fond of many if them, but we ate them nevertheless. Many of the Armenian spellings and the Latin transliterations are influenced by Bolis-French pronunciations. It means “half water” as explained in the footnotes below. With one exception. Below in the English version it is called “beef broth”. Correct me if I’m wrong. To me “broth” is thicker with added ingredients. I would rather call it “stock” as this recipe is much more watery and clearer.

The word was a subject of many jokes. Sometimes people with wishy-washy, half and half character were called so. In fact, there a person in our neighborhood who had a nickname “kesjor”. I don’t why. Was it reference to his character or was his family name “Kesjorian”?

Yes , They LEFT Bokhu just like Western Armenians LEFT their homes and towns and walked to the Syrian dessert. Of course Armenian are like lemmings who periodically commit mass suicidal migrations.

Bombing in Aleppo. Very disturbing. Wonder if there are Armenian casualties? It is getting dangerously too close. Suleimanieh is the largest modern Armenian enclave. Our friend Johannes is intimately familiar with that sector. Suleimanieh is where the Tin City of Armenian refugees was, and now there are multistory modern buildings there. http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/middle_east/syrian-opposition-to-protest-on-one-year-anniversary-of-uprisings-first-big-rallies/2012/03/18/gIQAoBq9JS_story.html One of many sites; http://www.azad-hye.net/photos/viewalbumpicture.asp?al=44

Here is another recipe using cored and dried eggplant shells. I am not particularly familiar with this dish, neither do I know the etymology of the name "aghamagh"**, and why it was called so, but do notice that it is meatless, i.e Lenten. Also note that, just as above թահին tahin/sesame paste and աղտոր/sumac are featured. (it was the main souring agent when lemon was not readily available.*** ** Wait a minute. Does it have to do with աղ/salt? In the Marash tradition there is term ախոց/akhots referring to Lent. In fact it is a corrupted and contracted version of աղ ու հոց /agh ou hots, աղ եւ հաց/salt and bread. Remember the Armenian tradition of presenting a plate of Salt and Bread to foreign guests?**** ***For a long time I did know what the so called Armenian word չնտրիկ meant. AH!!! Until one day, at a specialty store an Italian lady was asking for “chitrik” pointing to package on the shelf. I had to intervene and tell the clerk that she meant “citric”. It is from the Latin “citric/ chntrik/citric acid”/ թթու աղ/ լեմոնի աղ/կիտրոնի աղ. ****

Once again, in no particular order but those dishes that seem to be particular to the Marash Kitchen, I am personally familiar with most of the recipes. My wish is that we NOT USE furkish words and names as there are Armenian terms for most of the ingredients and processes.** I am intimately familiar with the following. And it is very timely during this Lent season/ միջինք ,պահոց.as it is totally meatless and vegetarian.. Aubergine is a French word to mean սմբուկ/smbouk, in English it is better known as eggplant. It is prepared with cored and dried eggplant from the previous season. ** Լից/lits or լցոն/ltson instead of dolma, which in that cursed non-language means to fill to stuff. To not forget that dolma is not stuffed grape leaves, it is stuffed other vegetables like eggplant, zucchini, bell peppers, tomatoes etc. Also remember that all of the previous are technically fruits, not vegetables. Is there an Armenian word for tahini? It is an Arabic word that literally means milled aghatsats just as they also call the flour /ալիւր tanhin.. Շուշմաղաց,կնջութաղաց? In that language “tahhan” means miller ջաղացպան Do you see why in Yerevan տոլմա is transliterated as tolma? Տ=T. The correct transliteration of that furkish word would be ԴՈԼՄԱ/dolma: Where D=Դ Also note below that they correctly use ԱՂՏՈՐ to mean sumac. ==== You may find them in specialty stores. http://images.wikia.com/recipes/images/0/01/Dried_eggplant.jpg http://images.wikia.com/recipes/images/0/01/Dried_eggplant.jpg Please don’t be intimidated, it is not as complicated as below.

Please allow me to continue and bring uniquely exotic Marash Rcipes. I am intimately familiar with that dish, among others. Let me not forget this Royal festive dish. See related anecdotes below. I had already known that anecdote. ---- BTW. “ghabakhli” is furkish to mean “pumpkin stew” դդմապուր: With all due respdects for a wonderful site, I wish the authors would see fit to not use furkish terms.

Here is another day old stale bread recipe particular to Marash. I do remember it, we called it “omaj”. I’m not sure where the author gets “banirov börek”, as to me a “ börek/pie” is usually baked. While the below recipe is raw. BTW. The Marashtsis call lahmajun “etli borek/meat pie/misov/msahats/միսով հաց /մսահաց” Պանիրով եւ օթեկ (մէկ օր առաջուայ) հացով գնդակներ Բաղադրութիւն Քանի մը կտոր օթեկ հաց 2-3 կտոր խարտուած պանիր 1 միջակ սոխ՝ մանրուած 1 փունջ ազատքեղ՝ մանրուած 1 կանաչ պղպեղ՝ մանրուած 1 պզտիկ դգալ կարմիր փոշի պղպեղ Պատրաստութիւն 1.

Arrange on a dish and serve

Herewith we proceed to feature, in my judgment some of the recipes are universal,like the pilavs, եղինձ, (եղ եւ բրինձ)? and soups. Here we will try and feature those unique to Marash. http://www.houshamadyan.org/arm/mapottomanempire/vilayetaleppo/marash/localcharacteristics/cuisine.html http://www.houshamadyan.org/en/mapottomanempire/vilayetaleppo/sandjakofmarash/local-characteristics/cuisine.html I found the above site looking for Հացիկ հալվա /Bread Pudding that I don’t remember seeing anywhere else. Although it slightly differs from the way I remember, but will do for now. I will add in due time.** Note the word օթեկ =stale.*** There are other recipes using “stale/day old bread” that we will see. **The way I remember. Day old stale bread would be sautéed, browned in butter, water and sweeteners, be it sugar or grape syrup added. ***From օթել օթեւանել գիշերանել to spend the night. at an Inn/օթեւան: ----- Հացիկ հալվա (օթեկ) Բաղադրութիւն Օթեկ հաց 1 գաւաթ շաքար 1 գաւաթ ջուր 2-3 դգալ իւղ Պատրաստութիւն 1.

A very critical article in Hetq. On several occasions we have spoken about the poor state of the English translations. Do they translate from the Russian translation? I know a very funny and true story about “ustr”/Worcester. This actually happened a few decades ago, and I have personally known the people involved. Masis and his sister Azniv (their real names) decided to go to “oostur” Worcester, Mass.** Masis was severely handicapped, he had MD (muscular dystrophy) so Azniv was driving. About 30 miles west of Boston. They pass the 30 mile sign, the 40 mile sign , the 50 mile sign still no sign of “oostur”. They finally decide to ask the cop. “OH!!! You’re looking for Worcester? It is 20 miles back.” **Some locals pronounce it as qooorsater/Wooster’ etc. and the Arnenians call it “vorsester” at best or “oostur”. PS. It is true that the first Armenian Church was in Worcester. http://www.acoos.org/ http://travel.yahoo.com/p-map-476657-map_of_worcester_ma-i http://hetq.am/eng/opinion/11870/diaspora-ministry%E2%80%99s-much-heralded-%E2%80%9Cvirtual-museum%E2%80%9D-is-a-%E2%80%9Cvirtual-embarrassment%E2%80%9D.html
